Verdict
Conceal unseated his rider on his return to action but could figure here with a clear round. Line Of Descent has yet to win under NH Rules but is a consistent sort and has been dropped a couple of pounds. POST NO BILLS was knocking on the door over fences last summer and can make a winning reappearance ahead of the chasing newcomer Miltiades and Leicester fourth Keplerian.
