LEADENHALL debuted in a higher grade at Sandown when losing a shoe and returning a losing favourite. Normal progress should see him go close in this. Prince of Zenda finished third of six at Wolverhampton and is another to consider while Dog Fox and Smooth Ryder may improve to finish closer. The newcomer Iconic Moment won’t need to be anything special to get involved.
