The talented and likeable BOOTHILL made a winning return last year before following up in this race and after bolting up by 4 lengths on return I think he is set to repeat the dose. He looked better than ever beating First Flow at the start of the month and despite going up 6lb looks the one they all have to beat again. Saint Segal was back in third the last day and he might be the one to chase him home. Corrigeen Rock is on a hat-trick and is also noted.

I know FLOORING PORTER only beat 3 rivals on his chase debut at Cheltenham but he was visually impressive and the form has already been franked. The runner-up Broadway Boy slammed the opposition to win next time out and the form played out with the third Weveallbeencaught chasing him home. He can improve on that initial experience and should go 2-2 in this sphere. Quilixios showed a good attitude at Limerick and is the obvious danger.
