On the face of it HOT CASH looks a tough one to recommend but there have been excuses for some recent below-par efforts and first-time cheekpieces could be just what are required to spark Jack Channon's 4-y-o back to life. He gets the tentative nod over Vixey, who goes well at this venue and arrives in good order. Veteran Tele Red warrants plenty of respect after an encouraging return but stall 10 may well scupper his chances.
