All five are in good form and can have a case constructed for their chance. Zoraya is consistent but probably a pound or two too high and Icart Point, chasing a three-timer, is now asked to step-up in grade. Running Cloud produced his best effort of the campaign last time on the all-weather and will contend if finding further improvement whilst Biotic has suddenly sprung into winning form at the age of seven after not having won since 2015.He does make appeal here but LETSBE AVENUE looks on the upgrade judged by a recent Newbury win and the form appears to have some depth with the fourth at day, Nicklaus, having scored at Newbury on Thursday.
