Line D'aios completed a hat trick in bumpers and over hurdles but has shown nothing in three starts over fences and has been dropped 8lb. DIXIE BULL was left clear at the last when scoring at Ffos Las in January and though disappointing subsequently heis back on the same mark and testing ground can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Riddlestown's five victories to date have all come over shorter trips while Mission Complete has been running poorly and his best form has been on quicker ground, though the 10lb claim of Jack Savage should aid his cause. Sgt Bull Berry is another whose form is on good going and Flichity is a long way out of the handicap.
