Cricklewood Green attempts to repeat last year’s success in this off a 4lb higher mark and arrives in good form with Ryan Moore on board. My Target and the progressive Red Tea won divisions of the same handicap at Newmarket last time and are preferred to last month’s Wolverhampton winner Arlecchino's Leap. Red Paladin bids for hat-trick raised 5lb while Valbchek drops in class and can race off a lower mark back on Turf. FREE CODE has yet to win this year but landed a couple of Class 3 handicaps last term and went close off a higher mark at Newmarket in July. David Barron’s charge showed signs of a resurgence with a strong finish at Haydock last time and may bounce back to winning ways in this.
