Verdict

It's probably fair to say that KLITSCHKO was a shade disappointing on the whole in his three runs over hurdles last season, given the impression he created when winning a bumper at Huntingdon on debut. However, there's a strong sense that there's much better to come from this 5-y-o, particularly now that he ventures down the handicap route off a potentially handy opening mark. The hat-trick seeking He's A Latchico is the obvious threat.

  1. KLITSCHKO
  2. HE'S A LATCHICO (IRE)
  3. ZAMBEZI FIX (FR)
