Robiola was keeping on when runner-up at Ludlow in January so a step up in trip should suit. Campden Lad is the most experienced but is probably still improving and Chilinlikeavillain went for £35,000 after finishing second in an Irish point in October and this half-brother to useful hurdler Detached will know what’s required. Parc D'amour has a nice pedigree and cost €60,000 as a three-year-old while Ohnodonttakemehome was second on debut at Southwell in January. CAMMY BEAR is a half-brother to three winners so gets the nod with Harry Cobden staying back to take the ride.
