Verdict
Rock Icon ended a long losing run in a lower grade at Wolverhampton last time but has yet to race on this surface while Forseti defied a penalty to land a course and distance double a week ago but had earlier finished behind Jazz Hands here and the latter can confirm running on better terms. OUD METHA BRIDGE (NAP) was winning off today’s mark on the Turf last year and was placed in a higher grade here recently on his Fibresand debut. He should have the edge with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause on this occasion and can return to winning ways.
