MONSIEUR KODI (5) produced a solid performance last time finishing second over 6f at Newcastle beaten 1. 5L. Tricky draw however finds a genuine opportunity to break through. HE’S A GENTLEMAN (2) failed to deliver when 5. 5L ninth after being well supported tackling 7f at this track. Form stacks up well and he cannot be overlooked. ARANTES NASCIMENTO (7) most recently finished 0. 8L second attempting 7f at Chelmsford being prominent throughout. Holds ability to remain competitive. SIMPLY BLUE (10) showed improvement running 4L sixth in a 7f contest at Southwell. Worth giving another chance.
