WOTS THE WIFI CODE (NAP) returned to his best form of last season when landing a first career success impressively at Ripon eight days ago in a similar apprentice handicap He appeared to score with something to spare that day and the runner-up gave the form a useful boost when scoring at Beverley last Thursday. Liam Browne retains the ride and the combination can land back-to-back victories. The Brora Pebbles was much better last time and is respected on that effort, but Paddyplex could prove a greater threat under his very promising pilot and from a falling mark. The solid Listen Again, likely to crop up sooner or later, completes the shortlist.
