DESERT ICON won in great style at Newmarket last weekend and he's going to be hard to beat under a penalty here if he turns up in the same form. You're Hired may have been let in lightly by the handicapper having gone up just 7lb for his recent Newmarket win. Wargrave completes the shortlist but he won't find this field easy to dominate from the front.
