Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Iconic Times holds a clear edge over this field on performance ratings, sitting ten pounds clear of the nearest challenger Wait For It, and looks well-suited to this seven-furlong Catterick test at Class 6 level. Wait For It and Our Hero Matty represent the most credible dangers, with Rain Cap also capable of making the frame if the principals disappoint. On the figures, this looks a straightforward assignment for our selection. **Iconic Times** to win.
