Another tough race here full of mainly disappointing sorts however the principals look to be Haikal, Cody and Glory Storey and we will side with Cody. The gelding was a good second behind Dubai Seven Stars last time out over course and distance and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Haikal rates the main danger he was a fair third behind Magical Day and the step up in trip is sure to suit. Glory Storey is another that could go well he is well weighted compared to his chasing mark but he has a 436 day absence to overcome. Of the remainder Sonny Jim and Polish Paddy are from shrewd yards and are worth noting in the market but he a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we are happy to stick with Cody.
