Having a first run in almost two years, Behindthelines was beaten less than five lengths behind BREAKING THE ICE (NAP) here last month and is 7lb better off. But George Bewley’s charge is clearly in the form of his life and may well complete a hat-trick of course victories. Ard Chros would have a chance on the pick of his form last season at Carlisle but Court Dreaming was beaten in a three-runner race at that track in October. Who's In The Box can improve on his reappearance while Overcourt goes well fresh and is unexposed over fences, though has been hard to train.
