      Verdict

      It's hardly surprising that the assessor has hit ICEBUSTER with an 11lb rise for a very easy victory at Sandown and this progressive type looks one to follow until beaten. Stentorian was beaten a very long way that day but West Brit enjoyed the heavy conditions at Newcastle in a race that has worked out well and further rain would greatly enhance his chances. Red Inca could prove a threat as he won nicely at Sandown before finding Chester's turns too much for him but Pivotman has been running poorly over longer trips and his debut success over Carlton House now seems a very long time ago. Swift Bird tackles this trip for the first time but hasn't been stopping over a mile and her overall form puts her well in the picture.
