In depth

Verdict

Codeshare won a maiden over track and trip last time beating a subsequent winner in the process. There looks more to come from him while Lac Leman also scored here on his latest start with Major Rowan back in fourth and is upped 2lb. Faithful Creek ended a log losing run at Southwell recently while L’INGANNO FELICE also won at the latter track having scored over 1m2f here before that. Iain Jardine’s charge was narrowly beaten in a Class 3 race last time and can go in again back at this level.
