Verdict
Camdenation showed his appreciation for a step up in trip when a smooth course and distance novice winner last month and can follow up in a moderate event. Josh Gifford's charge should handle the conditions and, being a lightly raced type, has plenty of improvement to come. Sure Future has not been disgraced in better company of late and should give another good account with conditions in his favour but Bigwig is likely to struggle in the ground and Great Crusader is best watched on his return.
