A winner between the flags, LINELEE KING was closing down winner Plenty In The Tank inside the final furlong of his debut under Rules at Chepstow. This looks easier as he gets 7lb from last month’s course and distance winner Blazing Port. Steinkraus could be a useful recruit from the point-to-point ranks and Richard Fahey introduces the Flat-bred Ifyoucareshare. Ferry All needs more but Conceal is a likely improver.
