LATIN SCHOLAR, Bath, 3.30pm

Sunday, August 17

USE your loaf and follow me in backing LATIN SCHOLAR in the 3.30 at Bath today.

Alan King may be one of the top jumping boys but he also knows a thing or two about training them on the Flat.

Latin Scholar looks every bit a jumper — and that’s surely what he is going to end up being in the near future.

But he could earn a few quid at this game before he switches.

And he is surely a horse on an upward curve following last month’s Windsor win.

The form has since been franked in massive style for the grade with runner-up King Supreme winning a valuable race at Brighton last week.

The third in that race Western Roots has also done the business — so you don’t have to be Albert Einstein to work out the fact that the form is like gold dust.

All things considered, Latin Scholar with Dane O’Neill on board is more than up to defying an 8lb rise in the ratings.
