Comanche War Paint toyed with the opposition on his last visit to Wincanton and Paul Nicholls charge looks the one they all have to beat here. A progressive individual, he possesses good jumping ability and a turn of foot. He looks very difficult to oppose on this occasion. Indian Chance and Orswell Crest renew rivalries after finishing first and third in the Silver Buck Chase at the track. The former did not make it into the weights of the Welsh National and comes here as an alternative engagement. They should give the favourite something to think about. Commanche Jim and Jaybejay are admirable types who probably need it much softer before we will see them at their best. Comanche War Paint looks the real deal though and is our selection.
