FALCO BLITZ easily won a Fakenham maiden before two very good runs in Cheltenham handicaps. He shouldn't have too many problems returning to winning ways. Iconic Muddle hasn't won in five starts but has performed well here and at Newbury recently and should be getting off the mark soon. Montys Angel landed a Market Rasen handicap in July though that was on good ground and the remaining pair have a lot to do.
