      Verdict

      Camden Carrig gets the vote in this Hunter's Chase with Coolefind and Quid Pro Quo rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second in a point behind Saint Reverien last time out has conditions to suit and if he is fit after a 334 day absence he will be hard to beat. Coolefind rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Red Brook Lad but all his best form is on faster ground and he is opposable on that surface. Quid Pro Quo is another with place claims on his best form but he barley stays this trip. Of the remainder Spring Grove has conditions to suit but consistency is not his strong point and with this in mind for the winner we return to Camden Carrig.
