A desperate affair which can go SWAMPFIRE, who has the highest rating of these and was still in touch when falling in a claimer at Huntingdon on his reappearance. Spin Cast has gone backwards since finishing second in a novices' handicap at Bangor in August while it's a long time since Boston Blue has shown any worthwhile form. Noel Kelly has sent over Glenconkeyne and he looks the danger to the selection if able to recapture the form he showed last year when winning at the Galway Festival.
