Paul Kealy fancies chaser going back up to his best trip to deliver

4.50 Sandown
1pt win at 7-1 generallyThe progressive Killer Clown looks very much the one to beat in this novice handicap, but he has been well found in the market now and there is better value to be had down the bottom of the weights.

Iconic Muddle represents Gary Moore, who won the last running of this in 2019, and he has shaped really well in a pair of 2m races since being sent over fences and could have been primed for this.

On the first occasion he was beaten eight and a half lengths by King D'Argent at Warwick, where he was five lengths behind runner-up Belargus, who is 8lb worse off here once jockey allowances are taken into account.
