    Verdict

    A course and distance winner in May, Iceman George went close again off today's higher mark at Yarmouth last week. But that was over a longer trip and RESET CITY makes more appeal. The latter moves in the opposite direction as she attempts today's distance for the first time having won over 1m2f at Beverley last month. Back in the same grade here, she can return to winning ways. Grandiloquent has failed to beat a rival in his last three outings and Fleeting Fashion is having her first start for nearly a year.
