Jamie Codd has scored on his last three rides in bumpers, all for Gordon Elliott, and BACK BAR is taken to extend the sequence. The leading amateur was on board when his mount made his debut last March but not when he unseated his rider when clear at the last at Rathcannon in October after which he was bought for £95,000 by Gigginstown. Game Of War looked a potential future winner when a good third at Punchestown in December while Ken's Well was narrowly beaten here in October and was taking on stronger company at Navan on his next start.
