Formscan - BOOTHILL was beaten at odds-on when having to settle for second behind Tommy's Oscar in the Lightning at Doncaster, but can improve on that here. After chasing Jonbon home in the Henry VIII, he stayed on strongly to land the Wayward Lad over 2m here over Christmas, and his Grade 2 penalty may not hold him back. Datsalrightgino kept on well to fill the runner-up spot over this trip in a good Cheltenham handicap and is feared ahead of Solo, who can also have a say in proceedings.
