Hugh James Classified Stakes

Iconic Times bounced back to winning ways last time out and, drawn in stall two carrying 140 lb, he has experience of both today's trip and going. Our rating of 65 makes him the one to beat, though the quick five-day turnaround is worth noting.

Due Respect has been ninth last time out and eighth two starts back, and her recent sequence offers little encouragement; yet to win in her last six starts and ranked sixth of seven on our figures, she faces a stiff ask here despite experience over today's trip and going.

Rain Cap has run over today's trip and going, and at just nine days between starts he arrives in sharp order — his earlier third and second show he can get competitive when in the mood. The worry is that he's been winless in his last six, and that latest seventh suggests he can also disappoint.

Consistent front-runner profile makes Wait For It a genuine threat — third last time out, and second two starts back, she has experience over today's trip and going, and our rating has her well ahead of her official mark. The concern is that she runs just four days on.

Winless in her last six starts, Without Delay does bring distance and going experience to the table, and 19 days since her last run leaves her reasonably fresh; however, her recent string of unplaced efforts makes it hard to fancy her reversing that trend from stall one off 135 lb.
