Verdict

THE BOOLA BOSS made all in this last year off the same mark and after a promising run at Newbury last time, he shades the vote over Camulus, who's bidding for the 4-timer having defied a 12-month absence at Wincanton 8 weeks ago. The veteran Sizable Sam had excuses last time and isn't written off just yet.

Below par first 3 starts this campaign but better signs when fourth at Newbury 3 weeks ago after 3 months off and could be ready to strike again. 1st Pick 6 The Boola Boss (Ire) Jockey: Paul O'brien Trainer: Rebecca Curtis J: Paul O'brien T: Rebecca Curtis	100	-	-	-	36%

7	Raised his game last winter with wins at Leicester/Taunton and returned from 12 months off better than ever when completing hat-trick at Wincanton. Given time to recover and promises to make a bold bid for the 4-timer. 2nd Pick 7 Camulus (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Deutsch Trainer: Venetia Williams J: Charlie Deutsch T: Venetia Williams	98	-	-	-	34%

2	Hasn't been the easiest to keep sound but shaped as if retaining ability over inadequate trip at Exeter in November. Found extreme test too much there since so worth another chance in a change of headgear. 3rd Pick 2 Sizable Sam Jockey: Bryan Carver Trainer: Jeremy Scott J: Bryan Carver T: Jeremy Scott	95	-	-	-	12%
