My Mate Jake will be expected to make amends for his amateur rider weighing in light after he sluiced home at Nottingham last week. James Given's charge had previously scored over today's C&D under the same rider and Paul Hanagan won't be making the same mistake here. However, DEAN IARRACHT was unlucky in-running in that race here and, with a 6lb pull, can reverse the form and take this. Kodicil is definitely improving and returned to this trip with an emphatic victory at Pontefract last month when Brockfield was behind. A 4lb rise looks manageable and he rates a big threat. Law To Himself has only won once in 19 starts but almost doubled his score at Pontefract when a good second to Brigadoon. Connections won't be pleased with a 4lb rise but he's run well from higher marks in the past.
