Faisal Road has failed to figure since making a winning debut back in May and is penalised along with Iconic Moment. The latter made a winning start when successful over track and trip last month but a couple of the fillies look a threat on these terms. Tellus has gone close on soft going on a couple of occasions but AMERICAN BELLE was beaten less than a length in a handicap at Southwell recently and James Fanshawe’s charge gets the vote back at this level.
