Verdict

ICE CUBE is likely in much better heart than this season's form figures would suggest. He's taken to get off the mark down in class with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time. Unexposed Piazza could do better eased in grade, while Twilight Glow and Madman both have solid claims at the weights.

8	Lightly-raced maiden who again shaped better than the bare result when beaten less than 2 lengths in better race at Newmarket (7f) last time. Seems tactically versatile and can capitalise on drop in grade under Oisin Murphy. 1st Pick 8 Ice Cube (Ire) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Richard Spencer J: Oisin Murphy T: Richard Spencer	100	-	-	-	19%	9/2

1	Steadily progressive in turf maidens last summer. Beaten just under 4 lengths second time up in a handicap at Kempton (7f) on return. Lightly-raced 3-y-o may well improve back on turf with a run under her belt. 2nd Pick 1 Piazza Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Ollie Sangster J: Hector Crouch T: Ollie Sangster	89	-	-	-	17%	5/1

4	Split a now-fairly useful pair when runner-up in Newbury maiden last autumn. Hasn't built on reappearance fourth at Kempton this season, but he's slipped to an attractive mark as a result. 3rd Pick 4 Twilight Glow Jockey: Rob Hornby Trainer: Jonathan Portman J: Rob Hornby T: Jonathan Portman	98	-	-	-	17%	5/1
