In depth

Verdict

Latin Charm never figured in a Class 2 contest last time when chasing a hat-trick but better is expected back in this grade. Patriotic was still well beaten when third in similar company three weeks ago but Zampa Manos went close over track and trip on his latest start. The latter looks to have leading claims but STETCHWORTH is just preferred. He appeared to run out of steam in the closing stages over 1m4f at Epsom last week but was beaten only a length over course and distance earlier and is taken to confirm running with Swing Alone. The Steward won his maiden over a mile at Kempton in September and any support for him on his return to action could prove significant
