Verdict

A good quality handicap with the vote in favour of LATITUDE. Largely progressive over fences, he shaped much better than the bare result on return to action at Cheltenham 32 days ago and the balance of his form in the spring suggests his present mark remains exploitable. Gaboriot arrives in search of the hat-trick and is feared, with Bobhopeornohope fancied to leave his reappearance run at Warwick in his wake returned to this venue.
