A line can be put through plenty of these. Mount Hanover and Schmidt give their trainer a strong hand, while Hardline should be a leading contender now he looks as though he has ironed out his jumping problems. Preference, though, is for ITSONLYROCKNROLL, who landed a bumper last time and can score at the first time of asking over hurdles for his leading stable.
