Verdict
Philip Kirby’s stable could be in the better form but Iconic Belle was second over 2m4f here last time behind Im Too Generous, who could give the form a boost in the previous race. At the weight, however, LADY SAMBACK makes more appeal having run out a ready winner at Carlisle last month. She is 7lb higher today but there looks nothing special among the opposition with West Coast Lass tailed off when third over track and trip last time.
