Verdict
Line View won at Tramore on New Year's Day, his first victory over fences, but hasn't been seen subsequently and this looks a tough task. Not For You has had 15 starts over fences without winning and excuses are starting to wear thin while Balofilo has a strike-rate of 2-38 and hasn't been in the best of form. The veteran Ballyfinboy probably hasn't finished winning yet judged on his latest run at Tipperary but was behind RUFINO (NAP) when the latter won at Tramore and though Paul Rothwell's charge has gone up 7lb he's lightly-raced over fences and capable of better.
