Tokaramore was second in a handicap here earlier in the month but that was over 3m. Cuckoo's Calling won a couple of bumpers around this time last year but ran poorly on the Flat over the summer. By contrast, ICONIC BELLE has won four times on the level this year. There is a slight doubt over the trip but she should go close if lasting home. West Coast Lass wasn’t beaten far at Ayr last month and was second at Perth in June but both times over 2m4f.
