Unreliable individual. First run since leaving Leanne Breen when 11 lengths eighth of 9 to Volatile Analyst in handicap (66/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

(4)

Comfort Line^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 70| CD

4/1

Four-time C&D winner. Three wins from 24 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Creditable second of 13 in claimer (6/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Forecasts

Volatile Analyst (5/2), Little Empire (10/3), Comfort Line (4/1), Mythical Rock (13/2), Enough Already (15/2), Morning Approach (10/1), Tribal Moon (16/1), Albion Power (20/1), Church Mountain (28/1), El Bello (80/1)

MORNING APPROACH has been in good heart during the winter and, judged on her latest fourth of 14 over C&D last time, she looks capable of winning off this mark. She may have most to fera from Comfort Line, who found just one too good here last time. Mythical Rock deserves to get his head in front and he should be on the premises once again. Little Empire also enters calculations.
