Verdict

TOETHELINE reached a very fair standard on the Flat and she has impressed in maiden hurdle company as she gathered experience. The manner in which she moved clear after the last over two-miles to win a maiden at this track three weeks ago very much suggested she has plenty more to offer upped in trip and she's tipped to score first time in handicaps. Mill Quest and Head Turner both have the potential got get involved while Who's That is well-handicapped if able to transfer chase mark back into this sphere. Recent Musselburgh second Verona Opera can take a hand in proceedings if her stamina consents to this slightly longer trip. 1. Toe The Line 2. Mill Quest 3. Who's That
