Yarmouth 4:35 Result

Campani carries the highest OR (59) but is arguably lightly-raced for the mark given recent progressive form: 7-1313, including two recent wins. That figure "3" mixed in a string of 1s shows consistent competitiveness, and the yard of David Simcock has this and Pickering Castle both fit and in-form. Campani's proven course-and-distance winning profile at a stiff 7f on give ground suits, and stepping up in class slightly from easier fields hasn't stopped him winning twice recently. Top weight of 134lbs is earned via a rising mark, not a stone of dead weight against the field's ceiling. Jockey Daniel Muscutt is a shrewd fit for a warm confidence booking. Main dangers: Oh So Perfect (331124) is in serious form figures but has been running against maybe stronger fields in defeats/places, and Cuban Girl (9-0254) also carries a big weight (135) with a similar profile but less consistent. Yoko is interesting on pedigree (Saxon Warrior) but her figures (042-59) are patchy and she's unproven to fully find this trip/class combo as a leading factor. Given the return to winning form, trainer/jockey combo, and the way Campani has been building triumphantly in a similar grade, I make him the most solid alignment of ability-meets-price in a messy, wide-open Class 6 h'cap. He looks a fraction short at expected forecast prices but represents the strongest and most proven profile in the race, particularly with the give in the ground not being a concern based on sire stock trends (Time Test progeny handle cut ground fine).
