In depth
Verdict
Bollin Thomas has shaped really well on his last two outings over course and distance, but a combination of a 3lb rise in the weights and a faster surface may just find him out here. My Line is another who comes here in good form but would be a lot happier if some rain were to fall, and it may pay to take a chance with Mr Ed. He came up against a well handicapped horse at Newbury in Cupboard Lover and showed he handles these conditions when second at Salisbury last time, so should go close off the same mark this evening.
