Verdict
URBAN KODE has been left on the same mark as when second over track and trip here last time under Alex Thorne and he’s preferred to Irish raider Sports Barrow, who has struggled over hurdles since landing a Punchestown maiden in 2015 but did win on the Flat in August so retains plenty of ability. Danceintothelight won at Catterick last month but, like Parc Des Princes, is not getting any younger and the latter was behind Arantes at Ayr two runs ago.
