        Verdict

        Code Sign has the ability to shrug off topweight here, with Bude, One For Me, and Arjaypear all likely to make their presence felt. Code Sign was a frustrating sort on the Flat for John Gosden, finishing as runner-up on five of his six outings, and being placed third on his final start on the level at Sandown. He was nothing if not consistent then, and must surely have the ability to score again over hurdles and add to his Worcester success if jumping well enough. He did not at Fontwell last time when sent off favourite, but picked up well enough near the finish, and although a hard ride, has the scope to improve. Bude is 12 now and is another who needs rousting up as was the case at Uttoxeter last time. He does not make quite as much appeal as One For Me, who is however five pounds worse off with Code Sign on Fontwell running. He should hold Just Midas though and a bigger threat may be Arjaypear who has found one too good on his last three starts but will plug on gamely enough. He has major place claims, but Code Sign has the class and should prevail if his jumping holds up.
