Camile has had wind surgery since winning over hurdles last November and goes well fresh. Spirit Of Sarwan returned with a fair fourth at Beverley but needs forgiving a poor run here last time. Liberty Power is unexposed and his yard is in cracking form but there was market support for both Sir Havelock and ELIXSOFT last time and they will be bidding to recoup losses. Karen Tutty’s mare gets the nod as she appeared to handle good to soft at Ripon two runs ago even though her best previously had come on quicker ground.
