An opener that is thin on quality and we are going to take a chance on top weight PERFECT LINE to come home in front from Dizzy Future and Particle. The selection represents the in-form Philip Hobbs team, and although he has yet to win and his recent form has not been red hot, it may just be that he needed his most recent outing. The talented Rhys Flint takes the mount and the first-time tongue strap is taken to elicit enough improvement to land the prize. Dizzy Future won an egg and spoon race at Taunton last time over fences and switches back to hurdles here. Fast ground suits and he does stay, so from this mark his chance is very much respected. Particle also has conditions in his favour and is without stamina doubts. He has failed to win in 12 starts under rules but he has made the frame a few times and is capable of doing so again. Heezagrey is not entirely short on ability and does have potential to improve. He stays and acts on the ground and wasn't going badly when unseating last time. The Accordionist has shown little so far but you would not discount significant improvement from David Pipe's charge, though for today we'll chance Perfect Line.
