Verdict

HARD LINE should have learned plenty from his debut fourth over C&D last month and any improvement may see him shed his maiden tag today. Jus Surprise Me and Remi are the most appealing of the newcomers and market support for either would be interesting.

Verdict

11-time winner NOBALS arrives on the back of a career-best victory in Grade 2 company on the all-weather at Woodbine and a similar performance on turf would make him extremely tough to beat. Bear River and Over And Ollie top the list of threats.
