      Verdict

      Campbeltown was extremely unlucky last time and can defy topweight at the expense of Outlook, Celeritas and Gigs Magic. Eoghan O'Neill's stable continue to fire in the juvenile winners, and Campbeltown should really have been another at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Drawn in stall 10, he was forced wide throughout and did extremely well to get second behind Lindus Atenor. Prior to that he had won well over the course and distance, and will be hard to beat despite topweight. Outlook won a moderate maiden here on his third start and now makes his nursery bow. He has plenty of scope but also meets a tough rival in the selection. Celeritas has bits and pieces of placed form in fair company but has been weighted accordingly, while Gigs Magic, another nursery debutante, was only beaten a whisker by Jeremy Noseda's Sand Cat here the time before last. Highland Song should be noted in the market, but Campbeltown is a tough cookie and can pay to follow.
