Verdict
Torrid was running in slightly better grade last season though was beaten 30 lengths when third at Market Rasen in March. Camile was left clear at the last when dropped into this class at Southwell last November and has had a few runs on the Flat in recent weeks. Stable companion Flood Defence showed a bit of promise on just her third start over hurdles at Musselburgh and has won twice on the Flat there this summer. BINGO D'OLIVATE finished a long way clear in a Carlisle Class 4 in February but his rider weighed in light. He wasn't right when last at Newcastle a couple of weeks later and can gain compensation. Garde Forestier was returning from a break when placed behind Dubai Outlaw at Kelso and won't need much more to get involved.
