FormscanBy John O'Riordan - THEMANINTHEBOOTS should progress enough from his debut third at Killarney to win here. A half-brother to three winners, the Gordon Elliott trained four-year-old shaped with plenty of promise first time out, so granted normal improvement, he looks the one to beat. A Dream To Share was impressive on his racecourse debut last month, easily brushing aside his elders at Tipperary. While in receipt of a large weight concession on that occasion, he now has to concede to his rivals. However, he could just be a smart horse for this time of the year, so might be capable of doing so. Jaariam who showed signs of ability on his second start at Punchestown shouldn't be too far away.
