FormscanBy John O'Riordan - BROWN BOOTS can complete the hat-trick here for trainer Liam Cusack. A winner over fences at Navan on his penultimate start, the gelding then exploited a lower rating over flights when easily scoring at Clonmel last time. Raised 12lb for that runaway success, the seven-year-old looks really well-in under just the mandatory penalty. Proven over this trip and at this best on testing ground, everything looks in his favour to make it three in succession. Let's Go Mans is one that is worth a second look in the betting. Tailed off on all three starts under Rules, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding showed a bit more when runner-up in a point-to-point recently. Warmer Days Ahead looks best of the remainder.
