Fontwell 6:25 Verdict

Camshaft carries top-weight for good reason - OR96 is clearly the best mark in the field, well clear of Mobile Mamma (89) and the rest in the low-to-mid 80s and below. Recent form line 051-13 shows a recent win and a solid third, and she's clearly progressive, adding p (blinkers) for extra sharpness. Jonjo O'Neill Jr riding for the family yard suggests confidence, and this yard knows how to place mares' hurdlers over marathon trips like 3m2f. The extra weight she carries is simply a function of her superior ability - handicappers have rated her right for a reason. Rivals like Mobile Mamma is stepping up in class of form after a break, Luna Run's form is more moderate (73-613) and she's had a similar layoff, Steal A Glance is dropping in class after facing better, and Lynsey Larue ran just yesterday which could blunt her for a quick turnaround, though her recent placing is a slight plus. Athena's Dream and Glorious Mist look up against it on assessed ability. Camshaft's superior rating, recent winning form and positive trainer/jockey combo make her the horse to beat at a fair price, and I don't see obvious market vulnerability given her clear class edge on official ratings.
