      Verdict

      Tribal Venture is the solid one here and is preferred to Lost Time and Beauchamp Oracle. The selection won three times over fences for Phillip Hobbs but was firmly held by the handicapper since scoring for the last time in October 2006. He continued to run up to form, making the frame on three of his last four starts and could prove difficult to beat here if running up to his best. Lost Time won once over fences in Ireland but appeared to lose his way and showed little on debut for this yard in October. It's possible that a change of routine may have rekindled his interest and the market can guide. Beauchamp Oracle is a pretty consistent sort and a useful yardstick in this grade; he should run his race but is likely to struggle to match strides with the selection, Tribal Venture.
