Verdict
Stubble Field gets cheekpieces after her latest third at Newmarket but CODIFY has probably dropped to a mark off which he should be capable of winning. Most of the others would have some sort of chance, however, with Liangel Hope on a hat-trick and Nine Dragons among the least exposed and running in only his second handicap. Stevenson looks the pick of the remainder.
