Champagne Harry took advantage of a bad mistake two out to beat Comply Or Die over 2m4f at Chepstow last month but with a 3lb pull for five lengths Martin Pipe's horse is taken to reverse that form with Bosham Mill rated the main danger. The last mentioned has not always seemed to be the most straight forward of characters but looks to be going the right way over hurdles now and has to be respected. Phar From Frosty has done little wrong of late winning four of his last five starts but this is tougher than the novices' event he won at Sedgefield last time and, along with Wintertide, he may find this opposition too exacting. Comply Or Die looked a horse worth following when making a winning debut at Chepstow in October and we have seen little since then to alter that view. He gets the vote to return to winning ways.
