CAMBODIA gets a tentative vote in a tricky race. He has every chance on last year’s placed efforts, though today’s rival Charmy was in close attendance when the former was second at Lingfield last time. Compas Scoobie looks a likely improver after a debut fifth at Nottingham but Naqdy finished only a place behind and that pair also look closely matched. The remainder have plenty of catching up to do and newcomer Sid Sweeney will need to be above average to figure.
