This looks between the top two in the handicap who are both penalised for recent wins. Evening Hill just held on for victory at Kempton but EASY CODE recorded a more emphatic success when scoring over course and distance last week and Georgia Cox’ allowance negates most of the 6lb extra. Peace And Plenty has a bit to find with Evening Hill and Sandy Shores is preferred returning to today’s trip while Halinka went close at Thirsk before the saddle slipped at Newcastle last month.
