A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be very informative but the principals look to be Campli, Barton Belle and Brinkmanship and the tentative vote is given to Campli. The selection was a fair second behind Wee Bertie last time out. That form has since been franked and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Barton Belle rates the main danger on his latest second behind Amstecos but all his form is with cut in the ground and for that reason he is opposed. Brinkmanship has been placed in two bumpers to date and is another with place claims but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Red Scally could improve for this faster ground and with his yard in better form he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Campli who sets a fair standard.
