Verdict
Fast And Hot recorded a second course and distance victory last week, his third win of the season. Regular pilot Rossa Ryan suffered a heavy fall at Chester on Saturday, however, and a 6lb penalty makes Richard Hannon’s grey vulnerable. WESTERN DUKE has his first run since May but this looks his level and he could be about to start making up for lost time. Glorious Forever was a little disappointing when favourite at Ayr last month and is now visored but makes more appeal than X Rated, who weakened quickly off this mark at Hamilton after winning at Bath.
