This is a significantly better race than the maiden LATITUDE won on his hurdles debut at Ludlow, but there was much to like about that performance (travelled strongly and quickened well) and his speed could again prove decisive kept to a sharp, right-hand track. Earth Lord sets the standard on form and is clear second choice ahead of French-import Balkeo.
