Yorkshire Icon beat lesser-rated horses than this in a claimer at Thirsk last time but won his maiden over C&D and is not easily dismissed. Hunting Rights also has every chance on last month's victory at Southwell, though he's encountering fast ground for the first time today. BAYAN KASIRGA finished a respectable third in better company at Ascot last time without looking like winning but she did have today's rival Must Be Me nearly four lengths behind. The latter went on to score at Chepstow last week to give the form a solid look so Richard Fahey's filly gets the nod. Sleepy Haven is another to note on his handicap debut.
