Verdict

All of these have shown a decent level of form at one time or another. Campeador was in good form over fences around the turn of the year but has not been so impressive since returning to the smaller obstacles. FLAXEN FLARE, a former Cheltenham Festival winner, hasn’t raced since August but goes well fresh and can get the better of his stablemate and also the Jessica Harrington pair Magnium and Woodland Opera, who are both conceding weight.
