Another wide open contest here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Paddy For Paddy, Bosham Mill, and Bright Approach and the tentative vote goes to the last named. The selection loves this track has conditions to suit and with the return to this longer distance he looks the one to be on Paddy For Paddy rates the main danger on his best form but all his best efforts have come on a softer surface and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Bosham Mill is another worthy of respect on his best form he had every chance until unshipping his rider in as race won by Knife Edge last time out. However he teds to be fairly keen and he may not see out this trip and he is taken on for that reason. Caught At Dawn is another that could go well be he has not been at his best of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Young Thruster is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is another that is unproven over the trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to Bright Approach.
