Verdict
Latent Heat scored over a mile at Lingfield recently but the return to this shorter trip is not certain to suit and BLUE FLAME is preferred. The latter opened his account when beating a subsequent winner at Newcastle and Ed Dunlop’s grey has plenty of scope for further improvement. Dewey Road has yet to show any benefit for a slide down the weights while Los Camachos is not the most consistent but went close off today’s mark on his penultimate start.
