Verdict

ICE CUBE confirmed recent promise when getting off the mark over C&D and a 3 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him following up against several much more exposed sorts. Indeed, the other pair of 3-y-os, Eyes Front and Spacewoman, could prove his biggest dangers.

9	Shaped well at Newmarket last month and built on that promise to justify favouritism over C&D last time. 3 lb rise for that looks more than fair and he's now back against some older rivals so could well follow up for stable continuing in good form. 1st Pick 9 Ice Cube (Ire) Jockey: Charles Bishop Trainer: Richard Spencer J: Charles Bishop T: Richard Spencer	100	-	-	-	23%

7	Taken well to this track the last twice, finishing fourth of 8 in July before finally getting off the mark over C&D 15 days ago. Up 3 lb but remains of plenty of interest. 2nd Pick 7 Eyes Front (Ire) Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson Trainer: Edward Smyth-Osbourne J: Alistair Rawlinson T: Edward Smyth-Osbourne	97	-	-	-	19%

8	Off the mark over 6f at Newmarket in June and not disgraced next 2 starts, looking in need of a stronger pace last time. May do better stepped back up to 7f with Hector Crouch taking over. 3rd Pick 8 Spacewoman Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Henry Candy J: Hector Crouch T: Henry Candy	97	-	-	-	25%
