Verdict
Dubai Icon returns to handicap company on his first outing since Meydan back in March and is preferred to stablemate Piece Of History. Jumaira Bay is upped in distance and makes more appeal than his stable companion Montather while Far Hope has a shout on last month’s close-up third at Thirsk. YOU’RE HIRED (NAP) was beaten less than a length in a higher grade contest at Ascot last time and Amanda Perrett’s charge may prove the one to side with racing off the same mark today.
