In depth
Verdict
Fuchsia appeared to win with a bit in hand over track and trip but a 9lb hike in the weights seems harsh and BLAZING HOT is preferred. The latter was no match for the winner over 5f at Leicester but his best effort so far came when second over today’s distance at Thirsk last month and James Tate’s colt can open his account. Heavens Open will be sharper today and makes her handicap debut but Haydock runner-up Red Stripes has yet to win at this venue in 36 attempts and Lucky Lodge is preferred having gone close in a claimer here last time.
