The Roger Varian trained DRAGON ICON (1) looks a most interesting contender resuming from an eight-month break having been pitched among German G2 company on the back of two impressive AW successes. May find this opening mark well within range from a nice draw. Last-time-out Kempton (1m) winner TALIS EVOLVERE (4) rates a strong player with Ryan Moore booked. FANTASTIC FOX (3) could be firmly in the mix racing off the same mark as when third attempting a Class Two handicap over 1m at Newcastle on New Year's Day. Each-way claims go the way of AL RUFAA (7) and FORCA TIMAO (6) in what looks a competitive affair.
