Verdict

LINE OF DESCENT is prone to mistakes but there's no doubt he's on a tempting mark nowadays and has won around here before. Zumbi has been shaping up well so is next best ahead of Italian Spirit.

2	Off for 21 months prior to February's return and he produced his best effort since that absence when second in this headgear at Plumpton 5 weeks ago, albeit typically let down by his jumping.

7	Hurdles winner here. Had lost his way (missed 19 months) but encouraging signs off his much-reduced mark under this rider last 2 starts, runner-up at Newcastle 53 days ago. Cheekpieces still missing but he's of interest. 2nd Pick 7 Zumbi (Ger) Jockey: Leah Noreci Trainer: James Moffatt J: Leah Noreci T: James Moffatt	98	-	-	-	25%	3/1

9	Winning hurdler for Olly Murphy and though he's clearly not anywhere near the force of old following some long-term absences, he shaped better in this headgear the last twice, runner-up at Ffos Las 6 weeks ago. 3rd Pick 9 Italian Spirit (Ire) Jockey: Miss Megan Bevan Trainer: Harriet Dickin J: Miss Megan Bevan T: Harriet Dickin	94	-	-	-	19%	9/2
