Verdict

COMFORT LINE has been back to form with a bang lately and can complete a C&D hat-trick for the Ado McGuinness team. Fellow Dundalk hat-trick seeker Old Peculier has been doing his winning over further but is effective over shorter trips and is second choice ahead of Doctor Grace, who has also had a good spell here this winter.
