Arty Campbell, five-times a winner on the Flat, has disappointed over hurdles where he's yet to win in 13 starts though can't go much lower in the ratings. Richard Johnson has another go on AMADOUE, who hasn't looked the easiest of rides for the champion on his last two starts but makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark and gets the nod. Cornish Warrior landed a Stratford maiden in March but was well beaten on his handicap debut at Fontwell the following month. Treasure The Ridge won a Newton Abbot handicap in the summer but ran poorly on a return visit so Gibbes Bay looks a bigger threat as he ran out of steam over 2m5f at Kempton after looking the likely winner at today's trip.
