Fast And Hot is unbeaten on his two previous starts here but faces a much sterner test this time and may be worth opposing with two younger horses opposing him on attractive weights.
Western Duke ran the top-class Permian to less than a length last term and ran his best race of the year here in May when finding two well-handicapped horses too good. A 77 day absence suggests he has had problems since and preference is for
GLORIOUS FOREVER. His trainer has a 50 percent strike rate here with his three year-old handicappers during the summer months and his form at Sandown and Doncaster this season suggests he is up to landing this.
