Verdict
Seven-times hurdles winner Latino Fling has also won between the flags so a switch to fencing shouldn’t be a problem. Gold Link won over a shorter trip here two runs ago but Glengeever appears to be going backwards. Placed three times off this mark, BAGHEERA GINGE seems to be getting the hang of chasing and can finally get his head in front today.
