Verdict
TATHMEEN does most of his winning at Newcastle and went close in a tougher sprint at the latter track last week. But he’s also won here before and can figure again dropping down in class. Iconic Knight should find this easier than his latest task over track and trip and was narrowly beaten here earlier while Friendly Advice just missed out at Newcastle last time. Eye Of The Water is usually thereabouts without winning but Storm Over and The Cruising Lord look no nearer to taking advantage of a tumble down the weights.
