Verdict
Urban Kode is only one of these with a course victory to his name but we’ll give on final chance to THE RESDEV WAY, who might be suited by this step up in trip on fast ground having won four times over 1m6f on the Flat this year. Rory's Valentine and Gentleman James both appear out of sorts but Son Of Feyan has a chance off a low weight and veteran Andhaar was a fair third at Ayr last month,
