Genuflex has been sailing in calmer waters lately but is more exposed than his two rivals. Parliament Hill has struggled a little since making a winning debut at Leicester in November so OCEANLINE looks the one to be on getting 7lb as he would have been placed in a competitive handicap at Ascot last time had he not missed out the last.
