Verdict

CAMELOT TALES looked a useful prospect when scoring in fine style at Ayr (1¼m) on his penultimate start. His subsequent effort over further is best forgiven (proved too free) and he remains one to be positive about back down at this trip. Tawaareq and Arctic Vega are both proving consistent and can give the selection most to think about.

  1. CAMELOT TALES (FR)
  2. TAWAAREQ (IRE)
  3. ARCTIC VEGA
