ICONIC ROSE stands out in a modest handicap. She was only beaten a nose at Huntingdon last time and a 5lb rise shouldn't be too much of a burden as Pam Sly's mare drops in class. Realta Mo Croi landed a gamble at Fontwell in June but was raised 21lb as a consequence and Midnight Choice is preferred on last month's third over these hurdles. Airmen's Friend seems better over fences nowadays but Zelos Diktator has the past form to figure if back to his best.
