It is difficult to know what LINELEE KING beat in a Tinahely maiden between the flags in February but the performance obviously impressed Olly Murphy, who snapped him up. It would be no surprise to see him make a winning start under Rules ahead of another points convert Frisco Bay, the pick of Jonjo O’Neill’s two runners on jockey bookings. My Friendly Cousin and Cardiff Bay are newcomers worth a market check.
