LE CAMELEON got off the mark for connections at the fourth time of asking in a Chepstow maiden over a similar trip in January before bumping into one on handicap debut at the same venue at the end of January. The five-year-old can get back to winning ways for trainer Nick Williams with William H Bonney emerging as the biggest danger for the yard that won this race 12 months ago with Dino Velvet. Espirit De Baileys who makes a long-awaited comeback here and Karakoram, who has been holding his form well in a number of starts since winning a Ludlow handicap off a 10lb lower mark in October, can compete for remaining prize money.
