Verdict
He's A Latchico bids for a hat-trick raised 7lb having won with plenty to spare at Kempton. Helian beat a subsequent winner over 1m2f here and that form gives him the beating of Noble Peace while Danni California ran well in a tougher race here last time and is preferred to Sea Of Charm. THEONLYWAYISWESSEX (NAP) posted his best effort so far when fourth to Melakaz at the track on his return to action and given the latter went on to land a hat-trick, he gets the vote with William Buick taking over the reins.
