KODICIL is a solid dual purpose performer and ran a pleasing race on his chasing debut behind Crookstown here last month. Mark Walford has his select string going along nicely at present and his charge is taken to go one better with the benefit of chasing experience now behind him. Finding Your Feet is useful in this grade but has yet to score on soft ground or worse and Henry King appeals as a likelier threat. Due to injury, he's few miles on the clock for one of his age and would be a potent threat if producing his best on this first run since February. Pure Science is respected on this chasing debut, as is the consistent Pearls Legend, although the latter has yet to get his head in front over fences, placing on five of his seven starts.
