      Verdict

      BOLLIN LINE (NAP) hasn't had much experience over fences but has shown a real liking for this track, scoring here last month before falling when there with every chance at Musselburgh. He looks capable of winning from a higher mark than this so gets the nod. My Friend George has won five races over fences though all over longer trips including 2m5f at Sedgefield last time so he may find this on the short side. The Wexfordian is one to keep an eye on as his two previous starts over fences came in much better class than this. Ubaltique landed a better handicap than this at Haydock in January and probably found 2m4f and a 7lb rise too much for him at Ayr last month so he can provide the main threat.
