FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Generally a highly consistent performer, ITS ON THE LINE put in an unusually flat effort at Aintree but is chosen to bounce back and land this contest for the fourth consecutive time. The 9-year-old was yet again runner-up at Cheltenham last month, but this course brings out the best in him and he appreciates spring ground. Panda Boy, now tried in a visor, won twice earlier in the year before finishing fifth at Cheltenham and this slightly shorter trip should suit. Last year's Cheltenham winner Wonderwall was only seventh in this year's renewal but has since won a point-to-point, while Downpatrick winner Cause For Comment has youth on his side.%A0
