FIRE AND PASSION is back in maiden company after a modest effort in a handicap at Kempton on his return from a lay-off. Jeremy Gask's charge may well be good enough in this given he has a bit spare on today's terms with Lady Pinnacle. The less-exposed Glorious Asset looks a bigger threat on only his third start having placed at Kempton at the end of last year while Bounty Time looks a likely improver but Silver Glaze and Run Hurricane have shown little under NH Rules.
