FormscanBy Michael Graham - COMFORT LINE exploited a sliding handicap mark to deliver over CD last month and followed up a week later. He doesn't look badly handicapped off 4lb higher, so he has every chance of bringing up the hat-trick off a mark of 67. It is worth noting that he contested the Irish Lincolnshire off a rating of 85 at the Curragh last March. Old Peculier is another hat-trick seeker and runs under the 7lb penalty after winning over 1m4f at this track last Friday. That penalty is offset by the booking of 7lb claimer Keithen Kennedy. This is a drop in trip for him, though, and 1m hasn't seen him at his best before, but he arrives in rude health this time. Doctor Grace is another dropping back in trip, but she is versatile having won over 7f and over an extended 1m2f here.

An extended handicap for four years old and upwards rated 47-70
