Bumper winner who gained a third victory over hurdles in a Huntingdon handicap (15.8f) last winter. Showed a similar level form first 4 starts over fences this term but ran poorly at Taunton latest and has since left Olly Murphy.

4/1
Looked rather fortuitous (left clear at the last) when getting off the mark over fences in a 4-runner handicap over 2m here in December and struggled over C&D next 2 starts, albeit 7 lb out of the weights last time.

Had wind op before completing his hat-trick on chasing debut in 8-runner handicap here (20.3f) 100 days ago, beating a subsequent winner. More to come and looks the one to beat.

Had been going the wrong way over hurdles but made a successful debut over fences under an enterprising ride over C&D last month. Must be respected with further improvement likely.

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.
