Verdict

HE‘S A LATCHICO (NAP) completed a hat-trick in mid-summer scoring twice at Fontwell and on the Flat at Sandown. He still looks well treated on 101 and can score again. Klitschko makes his handicap debut with a big weight and though making progress only scrambled home when odds-on at Plumpton in February. Winning bumper Hidden Beauty landed a novices‘ hurdle at Doncaster but still looked green when narrowly beaten at Taunton so should have improvement in her. Zambezi Fix is back on the same mark as when landing a Chepstow handicap while a recent run on the Flat will have put Swinging London straight.
