Verdict
LOCKDOWN LATCHICO gave the impression he can win at this level when going close at Lingfield on his recent debut. Normal progress should see him off the mark and he’s preferred to Abduction, who came up short on a trip over to Ireland last time. Ibn Arabi and Enaitchess may improve but the 260,000gns purchase Ghazaaly could prove a bigger threat and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Harworth.
