Verdict
Nearly all have question marks of some sort against their name but CODE OF LAW hasn't been running too badly on recent starts and the key to him maybe the move to 2m4f, a trip midway between those of his last two starts. Conditions are fine, Fehily is booked and he remains on a workable mark, having been dropped a couple of pounds after his latest start. Dan Skelton is still searching for an elusive first success with Dragon De La Tour but he did shape nicely on his chasing bow last time at Huntingdon and may prove more effective now his attentions have turned to fences. He'll have no problems with the trip and is likely to be ridden positively with stamina assured. Romeo Is Bleeding ran well here on his first chase start in handicap company on debut for the Harris team and a repeat of that effort will see him in contention. There'll also be more to come after just the two chase starts.
