Verdict

BILL CODY (NAP) has recorded both wins on the all-weather so far over the extended 2m here and this extra distance looks within his compass. He returned a three-length winner last time and can defy a 4lb rise. Winning hurdler Be My Sea should appreciate the longer trip having finished runner-up over 1m6f here while Atomic Jack debuts on the surface having won a jumper's bumper at Lingfield recently. Niven returns to the level for the first time since 2017 and Luduamf landed a seller on the level back in 2016.
