Verdict
John Ferguson has trained the winner of three of the last four renewals and CAMBORNE (NAP) looks a smart recruit to hurdling. A Group 3 winner at his best on the Flat and still rated 105, the former John Gosden inmate can make a winning start over timber. Matorico has his sights lowered after failing to figure in Grade 1 races earlier in the year and is preferred to Younevercall, penalised for winning on fast ground at Huntingdon last month. Linguine finished closer at Exeter last time and For Good Measure looks another likely improver but bumper winner Herons Heir is returning from a lengthy absence and may be best watched on this occasion.
