      Verdict

      Kodiac Express returns to action having ended last year with a maiden success at Nottingham in October. But MARIETTA ROBUSTI has a shout on these terms and after finishing three lengths in front of Shortbackandsides when placed at Lingfield a week ago, Mick Channon’s filly can go close with any further progress. Tina Teaspoon and the returning Expediate have shown little so far though the latter was gelded over the winter and may do better this year.
