Verdict

CHAMERON won twice at Larkhill around this time last year. Harry Cobden has been booked and the French import, a Listed winner over hurdles, is worth another chance over regulation fences. Matts Commission has won his last three between the flags and seven times in total so can make a race of it with the mare Shometheway also in good form when last seen. Schiap Hill and Cheltenham Mati have seen action more recently than most and will be looking to cash in on their fitness.
