      Verdict

      Both After Toniight and Codeshare started life in bumpers and the former came out best under this code when second over track and trip last month. Clondaw Banker won over hurdles in November but debuts on the Flat while though Rasasee was placed in handicaps last year he has his first start since September. Casablanca ran below par on her reappearance but former Ballydoyle inmate SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN was placed over 1m2f here on his first start for Brian Ellison and the half-brother to an Irish Oaks winner gets the vote over this longer trip.
