Sprinter looks more than ready for step back up to 6f
No. 3
4.10 Haydock
1pt win at 8-1 generally
Camacho Chief has spent most of his life at 5f, but when on song he is always strong at the finish and I can't imagine 6f will be any problem to him at all, even if the ground is bottomless.
Indeed, he equalled his best form as a two-year-old over 6f at Pontefract, which is just about the stiffest 6f in Britain, and he was also fifth of 26 to Snazzy Jazzy in a £250k sales race at the Curragh over 6½f as a juvenile (soft to heavy), so why he hasn't raced much over the trip in recent seasons is a mystery.
