Verdict
Imperial Icon settled much better upped in trip at Hereford but has a further half-mile to cover here. SAINT DALINA won as she liked over course and distance 10 days ago. That was a conditionals’ race so she escapes a penalty and she should take all the beating again today if this doesn’t come too soon. Blackfinch didn’t take to fences at Southwell but has placed five times over hurdles so can make the frame again but Little Jack, second here in September, has changed stables. Mr Harp makes his handicap debut but may be a few pounds too high.
