In depth
Verdict
Another tough contest for punters to work out with many in form rivals in opposition. However the main principals appear to be Code Sign Rescind and Saorsie and we will take a chance on Code Sign. The gelding from the Philip Hobbs yard won a handicap in game fashion last time out when defeating Joshua's Bay, and although he has risen in the weights for that win he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Rescindo rates the main danger. However although he travels well in his races he finds very little off the bridle and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Saorsie is another that would have a chance on his best form but his best efforts of late have come with more cut in the ground. Of the remainder Andrew Doble and Master T are from shred yards and are worth a cautionary look in the market.
