CAMPEAO will likely start a warm order for this having placed in both starts so far. A runner-up over today’s trip at Kempton last time, he should be opening his account with any further progress as this doesn’t look a strong contest. It's A Love Thing finished well ahead of Heaven's Bill over track and trip on his debut though he never threatened and the newcomer La Tihaty may prove a bigger danger representing Roger Varian’s powerful yard.
