Forecasts

Cartonne (6/4), Hold Onto The Line (6/4), Diamond State (4/1), Restandbethankful (12/1)

Verdict

HOLD ONTO THE LINE continued his progress when completing the hat-trick on his chase bow over C&D in November and he's taken to defy a 7 lb rise given he pulled clear with a subsequent winner that day. Cartonne made all in a good time when off the mark over C&D on his chase debut last month and is the obvious threat.

  1. HOLD ONTO THE LINE (IRE)
  2. CARTONNE (FR)
  3. DIAMOND STATE (FR)
