Amanda Perrett's yard has yet to hit full stride but things are ticking along and HUFF AND PUFF can add to the tally here. The gelding scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when landing some hefty bets at Bath on only his fourth career start. The son of Azamour should have plenty more in the locker and can oblige here off a fair mark. Any contender with New Code's recent strike rate needs to be taken seriously and his latest Windsor success over Advisor confirmed that he is not merely a polytrack specialist. Baltimore Clipper and Bramalea looks next best on the form book but both will do well to beat the selection on their respective seasonal reappearances.
