FormscanBy Michael Graham - ITS ON THE LINE is taken to repeat last year's victory. He has put together a very solid portfolio of work this season in finishing a close second at Cheltenham and then delivering at Aintree. He is ground versatile and, as a seven-year-old, there should be more to come from him in this discipline. A bad mistake at the last saw Famous Clermont drop to second in his comeback run at Wincanton. He has form in the book to advertise his chance, though. Lifetime Ambition won well in Cork while Boss Robin is an upwardly-mobile sort. Ferns Lock is classy, but has just lost a bit of form.
