Bosham Mill gets the confident vote in this competitive handicap chase with Tribal Venture and Bengal Bullet rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third in a much better race than this behind On The Outside last time out, this looks easier and off the same mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Tribal Venture rates the main danger as he has dropped to as handy mark and could improve for the fitting of first time tongue tie and blinkers and with Richard Johnson in the plate he should be closely watched in the market. Bengal Bullet was a fair sort in Hunter Chases and won well last time out when beating Toscanini. However he looks on a high enough mark and is opposable on that basis. Comanche War Paint would have place claims on his best form but disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Another Club Royal has improved since being fitted wit blinkers but looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for them winner we return to Bosham Mill.
