Camden George should have learnt plenty from his hurdles debut and can take this modest looking affair, Cheer Us On and Pencil House may be the ones to chase him home. Camden George landed a bumper in great style but was very keen on his first spin over obstacles but did manage to take second behind a decent type. More is expected this time and he looks the one to beat. Dual bumper winner Cheer Us On finished eight lengths behind the selection last time out and will struggle to reverse the form but is also open to improvement. Meanwhile Pencil House showed ability in bumpers as well and should be watched in the betting on his hurdles debut. The Gleaner is also having his first start over the jumps and looks the best of the others, but in a race that will not take too much winning Camden George gets the verdict.
