Verdict
BOLD ADVENTURE has eight all-weather victories to his credit and has no problems staying this trip. He last won off a 1lb higher mark and ran well enough on his comeback last month to earn the vote here. If I Had Him hasn't had much racing over the past couple of years but was well supported to make a winning return at Lingfield last month and ran well enough to be considered. Perfect Shot was also returning from a long absence when a very good second to Six Of Clubs over this trip at Lingfield and must be a threat with that under his belt while Red Mystique has been threatening to win a race for some time and ran his best race over the C&D in October.
