Verdict

BOETHIUS looks very interesting as life in the point-to-point field has brought out the best in him and at face value his latest win at Ystradowen puts him on a lucrative mark. Searching is feared as he is at his best on good ground and produced a sound effort in the face of a difficult task last time. Neil Mullholland saddles two with Ballyantics looking the pick. Howlongisafoot has the better form of Chris Gordon's duo, but his other runner, Jimmy, gives the impression he might have more to offer now handicapping.
