Verdict

A chase winner at Stratford, CODY WYOMING is the only one with experience over fences. He was less than fluent at Ludlow last time but still finished second and can land this with a better display of jumping. Somemothersdohavem and Sun Wild Life are of similar ability over hurdles and make their chasing debuts after recent pipe-openers. They make more appeal than Somchine, who has been placed over timber but off the track since July.
