Plenty of these are returning from breaks and it could boil down to fitness. Bobmahley could prove best of the returnees having looked progressive in two runs in February but Bolving might just need this having had his last run at Ludlow in January. BLUE N YELLOW is very consistent which is why the assessor can't drop him. Tom George's charge still has time on his side and the winning bumper and hurdler is taken to lose his maiden tag over fences. Game Line was in poor form last winter but changed stables and made an encouraging return at Market Rasen. Global Anchor was placed here in August but reverted to type at Uttoxeter while Hurricane Arcadio ran very poorly when well supported at Newton Abbot.
