Verdict

In the finale, we will side with Ice Melted ahead of, possibly, La Cuenta and Sound Of The Crowd. A 60,000 euros son of Old Vic, Ice Melted catches our eye here and looks set to go well. From a stable in form, La Cuenta is likeably bred and is respected, while the likes of Just Touch Wood, Portland Bill and Reflector, whose dam is a half-sister to Trabolgan, Reflector's stablemate, Ringaroses, The Piker and Sound Of The Crowd are ones to have a look at in the betting but, for the selection, we will stick with Ice Melted.
