In depth

Verdict

Iconic Girl finished behind a runner-up rated 74 when placed over a mile here a fortnight ago and should have the measure of the more-exposed Your Choice on these terms despite the latter going close over track and trip last time. Tiger Eye beat a previous winner when scoring with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton and looks sure to figure, despite a penalty, but SHAKE ME HANDY was five lengths clear of the rest when narrowly beaten by a hot favourite over course and distance and it’s Roger Teal’s colt that get the nod to come out best.
