Verdict
Nebuchadnezzar only won a three-runner race at Wincanton and is 3lb higher. SON OF CAMAS has his sights lowered after pulling up at Newbury. He was second at the same track earlier when 7lb higher and may be worth another chance. Raffles Gitane beat a couple of previous winners at Huntingdon and has his ground again while a switch to fences is likely to suit Bob's Bar as he has pointing experience.
