Urban Kode usually runs at either Perth or Musselburgh, where the ground is generally better. But does have his recent victory to his name which is more than you can say about the rest. Ryan Nichol's mount should make a bold bid as Indepub has reverted to type since winning at Carlisle last May. KING'S CHORISTER has been a bit out of sorts lately but did score off a 2lb higher mark on soft going at Perth around this time last year and has also won around here in the past. He gets the most tentative of votes.
