FIRST IN LINE lacks handicap experience, but his form at 1¼m is very strong, and he shapes, in line with his breeding, like he will be better still granted a proper test of stamina. Kiefer is another who will relish this trip having stayed on well in a competitive event at Ascot last time, while Eminence is progressing well, and ran a cracker when third at Goodwood over 1½m last time.
