Verdict

Tim Vaughan's yard is still under a bit of cloud so The Wallace Line is best watched returning from a break. Maxie T won easily at Kelso in December but couldn't follow up here off his new mark last month and may find MINSTRELS GALLERY (NAP) too good on today's terms. Lucy Wadham's charge was below par in a Grade 3 at Ascot last month but his earlier form stands up to scrutiny and he handles the mud. Bowdler's Magic was successful over course and distance in November but has just gone off the boil a little and looks high enough in the handicap now.
