AUTOPORTRAIT is proving a little expensive to follow up, but the form of his latest effort has already been franked by the third, so it seems wise to afford him one more chance. Butcher Hollow should strip fitter for last month's reappearance at Punchestown and has the form to be a serious threat, while Harbour Highway got back on track under a hands-and-heels ride at Leopardstown on his most recent outing and remains capable of better.
