Ruby Wednesday drops back in trip after scoring over 1m4f at Kempton while Roman De Brut has done all his winning over shorter trips so far. Embankment won over track and trip off a similar mark last year, however, and Fast And Hot narrowly beat ESTIBDAAD when scoring at Kempton in October. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms today and ran well for fourth here on his penultimate start when ahead of Runaiocht. Paddy Butler’s charge gets the vote to add to his previous five course wins.
