Verdict

An 8lb hike in the weights brought Beau Fighter's winning run to an abrupt end last time, while Camps Bay couldn't buy a win at the moment despite running into a place on a regular basis. Winning chaser John Forbes has won on Polytrack but needs a longer trip than this and COBO BAY is preferred. Well beaten in better company at Wolverhampton on his latest start, he had previously romped home by nine lengths over 1m4f on this surface and Conor Dore's charge looks the one to beat on that form.
