Verdict
FRONT OF HOUSE made amends for an inauspicious run at Huntingdon with victory at Stratford and he should go well again despite having to field a winners penalty all around. Call Me Blue won a Wetherby bumper in June and looks the sort who should improve for the step up in trip. Code Blue is a half-brother to Chickapeakray so it is no surprise to see this trip attempted on racecourse debut. Cotswold Charmer hasn't been seen since disappointing on soft going at Hereford in December 2009. Newyearsresolution was placed in point-to-points and looks of some interest given the booking of leading rider, Giles Hawkins.
