SOUPER ICONIC (5) returned from a break of two months with a solid second last start at this track over 6f when he was up on the pace all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. The testing material. IMPERIAL GOLD (7) started at 15/2 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing sixth over 6½f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. AWE INSPIRED (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 4 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong prospects. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
