Forecasts

He's A Latchico (6/4), Torneo (7/2), Copper Cove (4/1), Bucephalus (7/1), Heure De Gloire (10/1), Intimate (16/1), Nashville Nipper (18/1), Stopherandgo (150/1), Tying The Knot (200/1)

Verdict

HE'S A LATCHICO shaped well in finishing clear of the rest with a fellow improver at Lingfield last month and is a confident selection to maintain his unbeaten record at this track. Fairly useful Flat winner Torneo is easily most interesting of the opposition now switched to a handicap armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance. Bucephalus is proving consistent and makes most appeal of the rest.

  1. HE'S A LATCHICO (IRE)
  2. TORNEO (FR)
  3. BUCEPHALUS (GER)
