Verdict
BLACK ICEMAN makes a quick reappearance having found only one too good over C&D on Monday and this looks a lot easier. Lydia Pearce's charge is preferred to Mayan Flight, who also drops down a grade after a recent third at Kempton, while connections will be hoping a first-time visor helps the cause of the winless Time To Play. It's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder, however, as they all arrive badly out of sorts.
