Race preview
HOT TEAM's only disappointing effort so far came when dropped to 6f, and his two performances at this distance have been very commendable and enough to earn him a rating of 87. That would appear lofty but there is no doubting he is talented, and the application of cheekpieces could help him over the line. Elegant Love's two displays have offered encouragement, while Chicago Guy fared better than Big Ian when fourth at Lingfield. The latter's stable companion Aspire Tower is the most appealing of the debutants.
