Verdict
In his last seven starts, Camden has won twice, finished runner-up, and failed to finish the other four. He's on a decent mark if able to get his act together but is overlooked in favour of WOOD YER. He defied a 5lb rise for a victory at Warwick with a battling display at Leicester and gives the impression there is more to come. Harris Hawk jumps and stays well and gave a creditable performance after a long break over a trip too short here last month. That will have done him good and he looks a threat. Fill The Power has performed at a much higher level, including the Scottish Grand National and a Grade 2 on this track, but disappointed when fancied at Doncaster last time.
