A devilishly tricky 7f handicap. At face value, a combined 8lb rise for the hat-trick seeking Safe Voyage doesn't seem overly harsh, but in truth he has it all to do to confirm placings with Curzon Line. Testa Rossa could be suited if Safe Voyage sets a blistering early tempo, but he's slightly vulnerable at this shorter trip. War Department looks high enough in the handicap, as does previous C&D winner Like No Other. Therefore, a sporting chance is taken with FREE CODE, who raced off much higher marks than this mark of 78 during the summer months, and suggested he was on the way back to form when finishing third last time at Wolverhampton.
