Verdict

BOOTHILL looked potentially smart when making a winning bumper debut at Kempton in February and he's fancied to go close now his sights are set on tackling timber for the first time. Getaway Luv scored in good style at Huntingdon last month and is feared under a penalty. Across The Line and Duc de Bourbon complete the shortlist.
