Verdict

KODI GOLD (NAP) was having his first start for David Evans when scoring comfortably here last month and can defy a 6lb rise. His former stablemate Enchanted Night was beaten two lengths into third and looks held while Dark Side Prince has only won on the all-weather but hasn’t been beaten far here the last twice. Swell Song is still a maiden after 23 starts while Snow Berry has been well beaten since scoring at Nottingham in July.
