Verdict
Le Toreador has the best recent form with his fourth in a handicap at Kempton a week ago standing out. However, he may have trouble giving so much weight to DESERT ICON here. The latter finished third over C&D a fortnight ago and looks set to take advantage of today's favourable conditions. Soopacal and Grudge have won at this track before but both have a bit to find with the selection on these terms, while Finn's Rainbow remains out of sorts and hard to fancy.
