HE’S A LATCHICO (3.20 Fontwell, nap)
Heads here on the back of a close second in a stronger race than this at Lingfield last time out. He chased home a nice sort from Paul Nicholls there and takes a fair drop in class today. Favourite columnist Gary Moore keeps excellent 3lb claimer Caolin Quinn in the saddle who has ridden him on his past two encouraging runs. He is proven over this course and distance with some cut in the ground holding no fears.
BITSANDBUCKLES (4.20 Fontwell, nb)
Was a revelation when winning on handicap debut at Huntingdon last time out. The official winning margin was a length and a quarter but that didn’t tell the whole story as he had the race in the bag a long way from home. Trainer Olly Murphy continues in excellent form and even a 9lb rise in the weights shouldn’t put the brakes on. This slightly longer trip looks another plus and there should be a lot more to come with so few miles on the clock.
NIGHT AT SEA (8.00 Kempton, treble)
Trainer Andrew Balding has booked Oisin Murphy for this four-year-old who has gone mighty close on her past two outings. She was second at Lingfield before taking the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton last time. This slight drop in distance could help while the three-time champion jockey should help her get out of the stalls quicker as she’s been losing lengths at the start.
INVERLOCHY (6.30 Kempton, Lucky 15)
A quick look at her formline shows how consistent this Crisford filly is. She has four wins and a second from her past five runs and had a bit left in the tank when scoring at Wolverhampton last time. A 3lb rise in the weights is fair and she saves her best for this sort of distance.
