Iconic Choice finished well ahead of both Sword Of Gold and The Fluter when scoring over 7f in a handicap at Haydock and should confirm running despite the worse terms. But MRS HOO will prove a more difficult proposition as she got off the mark with a course and distance success in novice company last time and the Fahey filly should make another bold bid with more to come now handicapping for the first time.
