This competive handicap could fall to Synonymy who has now found out how to win, Picacho and Coda Agency are two others worthy of a mention. The selection had shown plenty of promise before running out a game winner in a Wolverhampton handicap. He showed great determination to get up that day and if in the same mood he will be hard to beat. Picacho was also successful last time out, comfortably beating Canyouwin at Goodwood. There may be more to come and he looks a banker for the places. Coda Agency is a consistent enough sort and put in another decent effort last time behind At The Helm at Lingfield, he could go well at a decent price. The pick of the others could be Leo McGarry, but Synonymy is our choice.
