In depth
Verdict
Ice Saint comes here in good form and while he is not very quick, he does stay and is more likely to give his running than some of his rivals. Above The Cut is capable of a bold bid, but Bullfinch, who has attracted plenty of support in two of his last three outings, may need treating with caution. My Good Son beat the reluctant Interdit at Worcester and has more to do off this higher mark.
