CAMILE will be fancied to go close in this as she won twice for Joseph O’Brien on the Flat last summer. She’s also been successful twice over hurdles recently, including once for her new yard, and is making her all-weather debut on a very fair mark. Highway Robber was behind shock winner Splash Of Verve and Hugoigo over course and distance last month but has a chance at revenge on today’s terms. Hugoigo was earlier behind both Belabour and Nevada and the latter pair go on the short-list again.
