Front running AUTOPORTRAIT (2) is selected to record a win following a 4L second over 2m2 1/2f contesting a maiden hurdle at Naas six weeks ago. SMOOTH SCOTCH (9) looks a big threat after a 4.3L third of four in a 2m4f maiden hurdle here in January. HARBOUR HIGHWAY (6) resumed with a 1.5L third tackling 2m at Leopardstown under three weeks ago. Shortlist. BUTCHER HOLLOW (3) faded late when 13L sixth attempting a 2m3 1/2f novice's handicap hurdle at Punchestown. Of note in this race.
