Verdict
Gordon Elliott has won two of the last three and Boot Camp will be supported to carry on the sequence on his chasing debut. Twice a winner over hurdles including at Bellewstown in August, he wasn't disgraced in a top handicap at Listowel last month and will be ready for this. Cliff House has experience on his side and has been quite highly tried over fences while Dorans River looks a real staying type and scored over 3m over hurdles at Bellewstown in August. LITE DUTIES, a smart hurdler on his day, was beaten when falling at the last on his chasing bow at Listowel but that was his first start since February and he can make amends with Kevin Brouder's claim in his favour.
