FIRST TO BOOGIE gained an emotional victory for Madeleine Tylicki at Punchestown last month when heavily supported. He has a 7lb rise to overcome but won with some authority and can go in again. Stretchingthetruth had a head to spare over Bilko at Punchestown and though unable to cut it at Grade 1 level next time should find this less demanding on his handicap debut. The runner-up won next time and wasn't disgraced in a tough novices' event at Fairyhouse, when Exactoris wasn't far behind and Clonalig House well beaten, so the form looks strong. Aspen Colorado has been a beaten favourite three times after landing a Listowel maiden.
