7/1

Winner at Lingfield in January. 3/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 27 days ago. Should give another good account, although others look better treated.

Form: 964-312

Ilhabela Fact²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| CD

25/1

Forecasts

He's A Latchico (2/1), How Hard Can It Be (6/1), Donya (7/1), Mardoof (8/1), Eagle's Realm (17/2), Hooves Like Jagger (11/1), Last Mission (11/1), Big Wing (12/1), Al Gaiya (14/1), Ilhabela Fact (25/1), Merweb (40/1)

HE'S A LATCHICO is going the right way and scored readily at Lingfield last time so he's marginally preferred to How Hard Can It Be, another last-time-out winner who arrives on an upward curve. The hat-trick seeking Hooves Like Jagger is the pick of the remainder in what looks a potentially strong race for the grade.
