The well-bred Boss In Boots showed promise on his racecourse debut over C&D in January and should be prominent again today. The penalised Ace Fighter Pilot was a long way behind that day and looks to have little chance of turning the tables. Winning pointer Ballymoat won't mind the ground but there are a couple of newcomers in this with interesting pedigrees. Seebright is by Milan out of a Supreme Leader mare but he may need more time and preference on this occasion is for PUFFIN BILLY. By Heron Island, who has sired some useful NH performers including stayers Galaxy Rock and Manger Hanagement, the four-year-old shouldn't be lacking in stamina.
