Verdict

LINE OF DESCENT has been placed in better races then this since switched to fences this season so could be the answer. Post No Bills has finished second in 3 of his 4 starts over fences and should be in the mix again if ready to go, while Conceal shaped as if back in form before being hampered at Plumpton 2 weeks ago.
