Plenty of potential on show here but DESERT HERO looked a very good prospect when coming clear of a next-time-out winner for hands-and-heels riding on debut at Haydock (7f) back in June and, with significant improvement anticipated, he's fancied to handle the rise in class and make it 2-2. That said Defence of Fort has plenty about him physically and impressed when scoring at Ascot, so he is feared, along with Silver Knott.
