Nou Camp gets the vote over Baytown Paikea and Sweet World in an ordinary contest that will not take much winning. Sweet World has taken well to this surface and, after failing to get home over slightly further, looks worthy of a try over this trip. He does need to find improvement, though and a cautious eye should be cast over the betting before getting involved with the son of Agnes World. Baytown Paikea and Kilvickeon are closely matched on their previous form and there is unlikely to be too much between them if they run true to form. However, the former has a more solid profile and as she is feasibly on a winning mark, the mount of Brian Reilly is fancied to emerge on top in their personal battle. Nevertheless, Nou Camp makes a touch more appeal from a betting perspective. The son of Compton Place has solid form over the course & distance and, having been given a chance by the handicapper, this looks a reasonable opportunity for Nou Camp to open his winning account.
