ICEBLAST returned from a short holiday to finish an excellent second to Kyllachy Star over course and distance nine days ago. Mick Easterby rarely wastes a trip this far south and his six-year-old should confirm that form with seventh Dozy Joe and eighth Perfect Mission today and go one better with in-form Adam Kirby doing the steering. Go Far faces a different test than when winning a 6f Fibresand maiden last month but Mister Musicmaster hinted at a revival on his latest start over 1m and Intomist is eased in grade.
