In depth
Verdict
Fast And Hot bids to follow up a first victory at Lingfield off a 5lb higher mark but Richard Hannon also runs Patent, who has now found his best trip and was sent off favourite off this mark at Leicester last time. MOSS STREET could beat both, however, as he proved his well-being when overhauling the in-form Courtlands Prince over hurdles at Bangor last week. He's been very lightly raced on the Flat and could be well treated. Hope Is High's second at Yarmouth was an improved effort and there may be more to come from her now going handicapping and upped in distance.
