In depth
Verdict
KODIAK ATTACK followed success in a maiden race with a victory at Bath on his handicap debut. He’s been raised 6lb but is preferred to Secret Potion, who won a lower grade sprint over track and trip last time and is also upped in the weights. Atty's Edge and Compton Poppy have something to find with the latter and Bluebell Time finished well behind the selection at Bath but Red Stripes is usually in the mix at this level and makes more appeal. Perfect Charm landed a double at Ffos Las earlier but has looked high enough in the weights since.
