It could pay to stick with ICE CAVE despite the drop back down in distance. He won as he liked over 7f here on his first outing since May and there looks much more to come from the Godolphin colt now handicapping. Helvetian won over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last month and is fitted with a tongue-tie today while Red Alert scored at Brighton in September but hasn’t raced since and Hart Stopper scored at Doncaster in the same month. Benny And The Jets was narrowly beaten over track and trip a fortnight ago but Restless Rose remains 8lb higher than when successful at Yarmouth earlier.
