Cameron Bridge gets the vote here with October Mist and Romany Prince rating the main dangers. The selection has improved with each run of late and won well last time out when beating Rob The Five over fences he returns to hurdles on a lenient mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. October Mist rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Mughas especially as the return to this shorter trip should suit. Romany Prince is another that could go well on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out and for that reason he is opposed. Michaels Dream was a fair second behind Court one last time out but he has risen in the weights for been beaten and for that reason he is opposed. Stagecoach Diamond disappointed last time out but will relish this faster ground. Of the remainder Salut Saint Cloud, is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Cameron Bridge.
