The betting suggested ICONIC BELLE would return to form at Newcastle three days ago and she duly obliged by over six lengths. She’ll be raised by more than today’s 4lb penalty in the future and can strike again in this company. G For Gabrial failed to cope with a 2lb rise here last time having earlier won at Wolverhampton while Temur Khan never threatened the winner when runner-up at Southwell. Peace Prevails has won off higher marks on Turf but remains without a win on the all-weather after 15 attempts so far.
