Verdict

RED CODE (5) just ran into a couple better at Warwick when resuming and will have come on with that effort now under the belt. Should get a handy run in transit from gate four and gets the services of gun hoop Thompson in the irons. Sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. BUSKER (4) has hit the top-five in all seven outings this preparation and is one from one over this course and distance. Should run his usual honest race. BOLD AS BRASS (6) boasts a win around this circuit and will be rock -hard fit for this. Top-three commodity on best figures. ALIQUAM (9) has a win and a second from two attempts over this track and trip and gets in well at the weights with the 7lbs claim. In the mix. ZOUSLAYER (13) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the solid win at Ipswich two back. Worth another chance.
