Verdict

CAMINO LAD hasn't looked back since the blinkers went on and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent recent second here with this step up in trip also a likely plus. Adrian McGuiness' new recruit Serenity Blue could emerge as the main danger, especially if the market vibes are positive, although Showyoutheropes has slipped in the weights and also commands plenty of respect for his in-form stable.

  1. CAMINO LAD (IRE)
