BOOMSLANG has made a fine start to his chasing career and was value for a good deal extra when taking his record over fences to 2-3 at Carlisle last time. He can defy a 7 lb rise at the chief expense of the consistent Beau Balko, who may have to settle for playing second fiddle again, with Gold des Bois fancied to complete the placings from just of the weights.
