FORTUNE AND GLORY won at Lingfield last week and scored over course and distance last summer. This looks no tougher despite a 3lb rise and another bold bid is expected. Latent Heat went close at Kempton last time having won at Wolverhampton before that but is now 10lb higher and Puerto Banus looks more favourably treated on November’s second at Lingfield. Zephyrina never threatened when slowly away at Pontefract earlier in the week while Biotic also has a recent run under his belt and Yagood debuts for new connections having won a maiden in the French provinces.
