FormscanBy Gary Carson - BROWN BOOTS may be able to score again, back over fences. The Affinisea gelding was impressive in a handicap chase at Navan back in January before following up over hurdles here the following month. He was edged out in a tight finish at Naas last time and there may be scope for a bit more from him now back over the larger obstacles. Live To Laugh was an impressive winner over fences at Thurles three weeks ago and bids to defy a 10lb penalty. He looks like an obvious danger. The consistent Plain Or Battered, third behind the selection at Navan, could be place material again.
