LATIN KNIGHT (NAP) – 5.10pm KEMPTON
1 PT EACH WAY BET ADVISED AT 5/1 AVAILABLE WITH ALL THE FOLLOWING BOOKMAKERS WHO ARE PAYING 4 PLACES…
Latin Knight is available at 11/2 with BET365 & Unibet but they are only paying 3 places so, for the sake of half a point, I’m advising you bet him each way at 5/1 with the bookies highlighted above as they are all offering extra place insurance paying the first 4 home.
I’ve Napped Latin Knight because I think and I’m hoping he is very well-in making his handicap debut of an opening mark of 74. I’ve concluded this on his two runs here where he finished a clear 1.75 lengths 2nd of 12 off level weights to Omnivega on his debut over 1m4f back in February. Omnivega went in again next time and is now rated 85. Also, the 4th placed horse who he was giving 5lb to and beat by 4.5 lengths subsequently comfortably won and is now rated 74. This would suggest, with normal improvement, the selection is well-handicapped running off a mark of 74. He travels sweetly in his races including on his seasonal debut here 6 weeks ago where he was trying to give between 13lb & 18lb to the first 4 home over an unsuitably short 1m2f. His run flattened out late on suggesting he may well have needed the run but, to be honest, he had no chance at the weights. He finished 6.5 lengths 5th of 10. He is joint bottom weight here, he should strip fitter for the run, he will be suited by today’s extra furlong, he is well-drawn in stall 1, and he has shown he handles the track. I’ve compared his against all his rivals form at the weights and I’ll be shocked and stunned if he finishes outside the first 4. I’m hoping he can win comfortably. Good luck!
