Kodiline is only a plater but pops up every now and again. Penarth Pier may have just needed his run here last week but remains 6lb higher than when successful here in October. Treble Clef is unexposed but turned in a shocker over this trip at Wolverhampton. RAJMAN has won his last two over course and distance with his success four weeks ago being a career-best. He’s only been raised 2lb so can repel the challenge of Wolverhampton runner-up Fly The Nest.
