Verdict

CAMPEONA eventually made the most of an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at Bath last week and with more to come as her stamina is further drawn out, Sir Mark Prescott can take this race for a third year in succession with an improving 3-y-o. Another small-field scenario tempers enthusiasm with Golden Flame, but he's put forward as the main threat, nevertheless.

4	Took a huge step forward upped markedly in trip for handicap/turf debut when second at Bath (11.6f) on return and landed the odds in 5-runner similar event there (1¾m, firm) last week. First-time cheekpieces go on and there's better still to come as her stamina is further drawn out. 1st Pick 4 Campeona Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt J: Luke Morris T: Sir Mark Prescott Bt	95	-	-	-	84%	1/5

1	Ended a losing run stretching back almost 5 yrs in 7-runner event at Ffos Las (2m) last month, travelling strongly. Backed that up when second of 4 at Doncaster (14.5f, firm) a fortnight ago, ideally needing a stronger gallop. Lack of pace and another small field tempers enthusiasm. 2nd Pick 1 Golden Flame (Ire) Jockey: Zoe Lewis Trainer: Thomas Faulkner J: Zoe Lewis T: Thomas Faulkner	100	-	-	-	29%	5/2

3	Bounced back to form returned to all-weather when running out a wide-margin winner at Wolverhampton last month and backed that up under a penalty when second at that venue (1¾m) just over 2 weeks ago. Has a lower turf mark but not as good on this surface. Engaged 6.40 Lingfield Wednesday. 3rd Pick 3 The Craftymaster Jockey: Myla Coppins Trainer: Tony Carroll J: Myla Coppins T: Tony Carroll	92	-	-	-	14%	Scratched
