      In depth

      Verdict

      Cinzento has won twice on Polytrack but has shown next to nothing on Turf so far whereas all three of STEEL AN ICON’s victories have come on this surface. Rose Dawes steered him to success over this trip at Leicester two runs ago and he can confirm that form with third Stormingin and complete the hat-trick. Soft ground was a legitimate excuses for Suns Up Guns Up at Sandown but he tries a new trip tonight.
