FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BOOT CAMP may not be ideally suited by today's trip but he has solid claims of following up his recent chase debut success. Rated 130 over hurdles, he won his maiden hurdle over two miles and while much of his subsequent best form has been over middle distances, he did well to win on chase debut at Limerick (over 2m6f) and could he looks a useful chasing type going forward. Abbey Magic has done well recently and while she isn't helped by carrying top weight, is herself unbeaten in her two, recent, chase starts. She too drops back slightly in trip but nonetheless has solid claims. Whisperinthebreeze isn't helped by have%3Ding no previous chase experience but was useful over hurdles and cannot be dismissed from bottom weight. Damut disappointed latest while Stormey needs to improve on his own recent course and distance chase debut while Sweet As A Nut returns from a layoff and is surely best watched.
