In depth
Verdict
A competitive contest gets proceedings underway and many would have chances on their best form, but the principles look to be Code Sign, Arm And A leg and Coolbythepool and a tentative vote is given to the top-weight Code Sign. The selection was a good second behind Polish Legend last time under similar conditions. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Arm And A Leg rates the main danger on his latest win over Smoothie, but he will find this tougher under his penalty and for that reason he is opposed. Coolbythepool is one of the least exposed in the field and ran his best race last time out when third behind Dominican Monk. His yard are in better form now and he could go well off what looks a lenient mark. Of the remainder, Lowe Go won a Selling Hurdle in good style last time out but this looks much more competitive, and for the winner we return to Code Sign.
