Arty Campbell has won here on the Flat but this looks a pipe-opener before returning to the level. Caro Des Flos arrives in decent form having finished second at Southwell the last twice off a similar mark but there may be more potential in MOTASHAKEL (NAP), who clearly found 2m too short last time at Ludlow and is potentially well treated at present with Isobel Williams’ claim also in his favour. Ambion Hill would also appear to have every chance on the form book while Grooveur is improving with experience and goes on the shortlist.
