Verdict
CROSSING THE LINE made a successful debut at Newmarket in August then raced at Group 3 and Group 1 level. He reappeared with a head defeat by an odds-on chance on Polytrack here earlier in the month and, with that under his belt, can double his winning tally. The very expensive Kaser made a promising debut at Wolverhampton and started long odds-on at Newcastle but came across the smart Court House and couldn't quite get there. He's had a nice break and will make a bold bid. Tamkeen looked a certain winner this campaign after a couple of decent efforts last summer but he didn't exactly shine on his reappearance and he'll need to do better. Space Talk was staying on over a mile at Wolverhampton so it's a surprise to see her dropping in trip.
