9/1

22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time/cheekpieces back on and dangerous to discount off a reduced mark.

Forecasts

Glorious Rio (13/8), Cuppacoco (11/2), Debawtry (6/1), Roman Encounter (6/1), Blazing Hot (9/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (11/1), The Gloaming (12/1), Qaaraat (12/1), Tiltilys Rock (80/1)

BLAZING HOT has struggled on turf this year, but he's well worth chancing back on the all-weather off a career-low mark and with a first-time tongue strap enlisted. Indeed, the majority of his better efforts have come on artificial surfaces and this race lacks strength in depth. A winner of 3 of his 4 starts, Glorious Rio is an obvious threat and he is feared most ahead of Debawtry.
