Verdict
COOLE CODY is the clear form pick in this on his second to the smart Neon Wolfe at Exeter on New Year’s Day and he would have been second again at Market Rasen last time but for a last-flight fall. Rainy Day Dylan looks capable of improvement so may be the one for forecast-backers ahead of former pointer King Killer. None of the others have done much to advertise their chances.
