In depth
Verdict
IF I SAY quickened past Time Bandit at Chaddesley Corbett and the experienced Zac Baker switches from the runner-up to take over the reins. It might be significant that he’s also deserted Exeter runner-up Crews Pitch. Gina Andrews rode the selection on debut but now partners Latenightfumble and a drop back to 2m might suit Latitude while Foxinthebox is no forlorn hope under James King.
