Highly competitive but it might just be that the unbeaten Gosden topweight, CAMBORNE, is better than this level. We'll certainly find out here but he did impress with a decisive late thrust to land a decent Lingfield handicap last time. This is more difficult compared to previous outings but there should be more to come after just two runs at this relatively late stage of his career. Look Left, another four-year-old with little mileage on the clock, must be taken seriously off a feasible mark and has good claims if ready for this seasonal reappearance. He ran well at York on his final outing last season. There are plenty more battle-hardened types in opposition, of whom West End Lad and Calaf, first and second at Doncaster's opening meeting, make most appeal, although the latter should get closer this time around. Miss Blink and Blue Destination are others to note.
