Verdict
Boulette is penalised for last month’s course and distance success and OCEANLINE can take advantage. The latter found life tough in Listed company last time but had finished runner-up at Stratford on his earlier hurdling debut and can go one better back at this level. Prince Of Bad Lins and Inferno Sacree posted better efforts last time but Kotmask, an import from France, debuts for new connections. A winner on the Flat for the Gosdens’ yard, Top Brass also has his first start for a new trainer having been gelded and undergone wind surgery.
