Hot Team has improved with every start culminating in a victory at Newbury a week ago. But he’ll need to show further progress carrying a penalty and LEROY LEROY can take advantage. The latter found only a well-regarded Godolphin newcomer too good at Sandown last time and may well go one better in this if handling the ground. Majestic Mac and Havana Rocket should finish closer today while Brawny is preferred to stablemate Dark Jedi but 525,000gns purchase Three Comets makes most appeal of the newcomers.
