      Verdict

      BILL CODY showed a big improvement on his handicap debut when third at Wolverhampton and Jamie Osborne’s charge may prove good enough. Gunnar Julius steps up in distance now handicapping for the first time and could figure along with another lightly-raced type in Feragus. Good Impression has been thereabouts over shorter distances at Southwell recently but Font Vert has plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
