Verdict

This is only a Class 5 but it looks quite competitive. Camile is a rare runner here for Iain Jardine and could go well at a price. Midnight Glance won twice at Plumpton before finishing third off this mark at Fontwell but we like the way BELLS OF PETERBORO shaped behind subsequent winner Zhiguli at Huntingdon. He has a length-and-a-half to find with Frisco Bay but is 4lb better off and will strip fitter today. Irish import Some Can Sing could also figure while After The Fox bolted up at Warwick on New Year’s Eve, though has been raised 15lb since. The Quiet Don could be one to note for future reference.
