Verdict

Both of Sean O'Casey’s victories have come over course and distance but he looks a few pounds too high at present. Bartholomew J seeks a fourth course victory but is now on a career-high mark. ICONIC BELLE won over a 1m2f here in May and she saw off good yardstick Ravehoe at Nottingham last time under Scott McCullagh. This is obviously harder under a penalty but Max Liebermann ran a shocker last time at Newmarket and Rubensian has yet to place in eight attempts on Turf.
