Willie Muir's New Code has slipped to a fair mark but needs to improve on recent form to trouble the judge and a better bet looks to be Mark Johnston's ALWAYS DIXIE, who can resume winning ways. The daughter of Lucky Story was a narrow winner at Beverley two starts ago and lost no caste in defeat at Catterick subsequently when a close second of 15 to Cheyenne Chant. Racing off the same mark today she looks worth siding with and is preferred to Amada Perratt's Green Energy, who has harshly gone up 6lb for his narrow win over course and distance last time. Belle Boleyn has claims from the in-form yard of Chris Wall, while Captain Cool has to be considered being trained by Richard Hannon.
