Bollin Line is in great form and could be a factor if able to produce his finishing burst over this longer trip. Market Road had been going great guns until taking an early tumble at Chepstow last week. Cowslip and Bohemian Rhapsody have the past form to figure and Miss Fleming has her ground and should be winning soon. MULLAGHMURPHY BLUE (NAP) landed a touch over fences at Musselburgh eight days ago. He's able to race off the same mark back over hurdles and Jim Dreaper has brought over Jamie Codd for the ride so he should take all the beating.
