Karl Thornton can't find a race for City Line, who has now had 27 starts over timber without winning. The once useful Flat winner Hot Prospect has done nothing over timber to justify his handicap mark but ANCIENT SANDS, runner-up in this a year ago, has gradually been returning to form in a light campaign and looks ready to go one better. Carpet Elegance disappointed at Wexford last month after scoring over this track and trip in May and on the Flat at Tipperary a month later. He'd be a threat if that last run could be ignored while Chinook Run is best on quick ground and the handicapper has done him a favour by dropping him 2lb since has last run.
