Verdict
ROCK ICON and Ban Shoof bring recent winning form into this and look the most reliable ones to consider in this. Ban Shoof won impressively enough last time but accounted for little that day and it remains to be seen if he can produce the goods again. ROCK ICON escapes a penalty for a harder fought victory last week. As that was his stable debut and first run for eight months there could be better to come. The extra 2f is a worry but, being by a Leger winner, he is worth another try at this trip and earns the vote.
