Decent effort when second on bumper debut at Clonmel (good) last September. Well held in three runs over hurdles and worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

7/2
Best effort in three starts so far in 2017 when finishing runner-up over 2m4f at Listowel (yielding) last month. Likely to play a leading role if repeating that effort.

Well beaten in three maiden hurdle starts so far. Finished 35L sixth on soft ground here in April and hopes seem to lie with better ground forecast for her handicap debut here.

Ran well on handicap and stable debut when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and likely to run well once more.

Verdict

LINE VIEW won off a higher mark when racing over fences last time out and can make a winning return to hurdles here. The selection has been in good form this year and is taken to get the better of Whenthewindblows who ran well when third on his debut for this stable last month while Tough But Honest is another to run well last time out and he is taken to claim third.
