    Verdict

    Martin Pipe saddles both Neutron and Tango Royal, we expect the latter to be victorious here, with Code Sign and Marrel possible dangers. Tango Royal finished behind today's rival Marrel when they met at Worcester last month. There was five and a half lengths between them on that occasion but the selection is eleven pounds better off and that should be enough to reverse the form. Code Sign comes here in good heart after chasing home Jonjo O'Neil's Gimmick in a valuable Market Rasen contest last time and looks on a very tempting mark. Meanwhile the selection's stable-mate Neutron is not out of it either on the pick of past performances. All in all it is a very tricky contest, but Tango Royal appears to hold the strongest claims.
