Verdict
Snow Prince was a surprise winner on fast going at Catterick in June and looked a few pounds high for his handicap debut at Doncaster. Kip is the only course and distance winner in the line-up when he beat Wishing Well over two lengths conceding 2lb. The latter is in better form but still a maiden and is no certainty to reverse the places. ICEFALL has taken a long time to reach his peak and though the maiden he won at Pontefract wasn't a strong event he's only had six runs so should have enough progress in him to complete a double. Sautter has shown nothing to date and the step up in trip looks an unlikely move for the 220,000gns son of Kyllachy. Space Mountain won a Wolverhampton maiden over 1m1f in February then finished a long way last on his return to action over an extended 1m3f at Yarmouth in June.
