Verdict
Dark And Dangerous often runs well here and Wazowski wasn’t winning out of turn over a slightly shorter trip at the track last time. Art Of Supremacy may be running into form but CAMRON DE CHAILLAC has travelled up from Devon off the back of a first victory at Taunton and he seems to have struck up a good understanding with 7lb claimer Sean Houlihan – he is the one to beat if the headgear works a second time. Ever So Much is well treated nowadays but it’s a long time since he showed his best form.
