Verdict

BOOTHILL just beat Datsalrightgino at Newton Abbot back in September and is 2lb worse off. Both have progressed since but Harry Fry’s novice has been plying his trade at the highest level and can confirm the form. Solo, bidding to give Paul Nicholls a third successive victory in this Grade 2, has had wind surgery since last seen but looks to have a bit to find on the form book, as do fellow course winner Jay Jay Reilly and the mare Tweed Skirt.
