In depth

Verdict

Coded Message is a useful hurdler but she has not distinguished herself over fences so far. Emmas Joy is eased in grade, however, and PRECIOUS ELEANOR certainly wouldn’t be winning out of turn. She keeps finding one too good but this looks a little easier than recent assignments at Cheltenham and Wincanton. Graces Order is also respected as she got going too late here on New Year’s Eve and looks like making a better chaser than hurdler. Burrows Diamond beat Thursday’s Wetherby winner Maid O’Malley at Newcastle last time but does have a 6lb rise in the weights to overcome.
