Verdict
Camps Bay was only runner-up in a seller at Southwell yesterday but would have claims if taking his chance here. Encircled looked to be coming back to her best before a disappointing effort here last week and she doesn't look one to trust while this is tougher than the race Transformer won at Lingfield recently but he's open to further progress. HINDU KUSH won a Listed race back in 2009 but hasn't scored since. However, he's slipped to a tempting mark judged on his third at Wolverhampton last August and he just might be ready to take advantage on his reappearance.
