Verdict
Across The Line has won over the track and trip and has faded when tackling further the last twice. Conditions will be in his favour as they will for MINELLA HUB, who has won his last two impressively though a 10lb rise for his latest Plumpton success make this more difficult. Out On The Tear has gained both chase victories over this trip on Catterick's sharp track but his last two runs have been in better company. Clear The Runway's comfortable victory at Musselburgh came in Class 5 company over 2m4f on soft ground and Old Harry Rocks is another who needs further.
