Verdict

GAME LINE hasn't had much racing for Peter Bowen and had plenty up his sleeve when scoring at Carlisle last time, so he's capable of defying a rise. The bang-in-form Sandford Castle looks the obvious danger, while Well Smitten is handicapped to go close if he turns up in the same mood again.
