P Bowen
A winner of a hurdle race at 2m 4f on good ground. Finished 7l behind Lava Lamp when fifth of 9 at 10-3jt-fav on his latest outing in a hurdle race over this course and distance (soft) last month.
LAMBORO LAD is beginning to look attractively handicapped and he enjoys a sound surface so can play a leading role here if producing his best form. Speed Master was far from disgraced in a Grade 3 handicap at Sandown last month and he could still be on an upward curve so has to be on the shortlist. Camden has struggled so far this season but it is too early to write him off and he might be worth a second glance.
