Verdict
A maiden stakes wraps up today's racing here and it should prove to be a very competitive affair. Duar Mapel and Hypnotic Gaze come into this off the back of good performances but it is with the experience of CAMPLI we side. The seven-year-old put in an encouraging display here last time out on this return from a 221-day absence and should fare well here despite a lack of action this year. Duar Mapel has improved for this switch to Polytrack and is progressing. Paul Mason's gelding came in third last time out responding to been well held at big prices on two previous starts and shaped well over 8f. Hypnotic Gaze had shown precious little in two turf runs for Clive Cox but fared much better on this all-weather debut and first run for new connections last time. Modest handicaps such as this will be the way forward for him. Harty Boy and Morning Sir Alan look best of the rest but don't look like beating our selection Campli.
