Verdict
LE CAMELEON (NAP) returned to action with a victory at Warwick on his first outing for Jane Williams. There could be more to come for his new yard and he’s taken to confirm latest running with runner-up Northern Bound. Java Point ended last season with a double over longer trips while Jemima P showed good progress over fences last year and will be sharper for a recent run over hurdles. Smarty Wild was still going well when falling at Kempton in February and has his first start since.
