The progressive winning point-to-pointer Camden Carrig was left with an easy task at Chepstow last time when his main rival Bright Beacon fell and he may be worth taking on here which we do with Bohemian Spirit, who is preferred to Star Of Raven. The selection has won his last two starts in hunter chase-company, latterly when beating 18 rivals in a better race than this at Cheltenham. Still open to plenty of improvement, especially over this longer trip, at the age of just six Bohemian Spirit looks the one to be on. Wetherby winner Star Of Raven lost no caste in defeat behind the useful Delgany Royal at Leicester last time and has to be considered along with Kelso scorer Boulta. Raging Torrent and winning pointer Shraden Edition cannot be ruled out entirely but Bohemian Spirit holds solid claims and gets the verdict.
