        Verdict

        Icebuster wasn't beaten far over track and trip earlier this month but hasn't managed a win on the all-weather in 19 previous attempts. Biff Johnson makes a quick reappearance after dead-heating for second at Kempton last Wednesday but this trip may again find him out. SANDY COVE has won three times over 1m4f, including here in September. James Eustace's gelding is still 4lb higher but went down with all guns blazing at Kempton last time and a return to winning ways looks imminent. Percy's Princess runs her best races here and has been dropped 3lb since her latest fourth so can't be ignored.
