TODAYS TIPS (THURSDAY)

Course and distance winner Iconic Times confirmed he had trained on when leading for a long way over the stiff 7f Sandown course on comeback and should improve for the run and the drop down to 6f here. Em Four hit traffic problems last time and looks ready for a return to 6f here and it may pay to disregard a 6f no-show here in January. Ballsgrove Boy has been consistent at a lower level and is another that may help Iconic Times go under the radar in the market.

Cairdeas hasn't quite gone on from a promising 6f reappearance but is given another chance here over 7f after running on from behind at Newmarket against a pace bias. Vocal Legend can go well under Colin Keane and should be a worthy favourite though Kiniro reopposes the likely market leader for a third time and the extra furlong could bring them close together.
