Verdict

Indian Icon has started a short price for both starts over timber but hasn't quite been able to justify the support. He'll be fancied again but may find the filly ADRIANA DES MOTTES too strong with her allowance. Willie Mullins' French acquisition improved with each run in early summer and can start to repay some of the 100,000 euros she cost in July. The champion trainer also runs Ashjar, another French purchase who makes his debut over timber after four runs on the Flat. Gigginstown purchased Halling's Treasure from Andrew Balding's yard after he scored at Kempton in September and Eric The Grey won twice for Richard Fahey so Charlie Swan should do well with him.
