Assuming that his busy spell has not taken too much out of him Fall In Line could prove to be too progressive for this exposed bunch of handicappers - even though he is set to tackle this trip for the first time today. Rory Moore's claim ensures that Bustling Rio meets Altitude Dancer on similar terms to when they met here earlier in the week and the Pat Haslam-trained eight-year-old is preferred over Lampos as the main danger to the selection. However, he in turn, is exposed and has often struggled to hold his form in the past. Therefore, Fall In Line looks a more appealing option as he bids to enhance what has been a very fruitful spell for him in the last fortnight. Sir Mark Prescott has an uncanny knack of confounding the handicapper and he will undoubtedly be scouring the openings for his charge if Fall In Line continues to brush aside his penalties today.
