In depth
Verdict
CAMAKASI is one of several with claims but won by four lengths over 1m3f here a week ago with Thahab Ifraj and Jersey Bull behind and is taken to shrug off a penalty. Paladin landed a double at Southwell recently and has also won here before while Fast And Hot scored over 1m2f at the track back in October. Both My Matador and Ravens Quest went close on their respective latest starts while Solveig's Song was ahead of Choral Clan when winning over 1m2f here in November and is 2lb higher today.
