7/2, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft) 5 days ago by 7 lengths from Top Button, leading on bridle around 2f out then forging clear. HIgh on the shortlist if translating that back on all-weather.

Forecasts

Kodebreaker (11/4), Evoluir (4/1), Coconut Bay (4/1), Top Button (9/2), True Nation (9/1), Just Typical (10/1), Miss Calculation (14/1), Cut To The Chase (25/1), Storm Master (50/1), Iconic Knight (100/1)

KODEBREAKER was an impressive 7-length winner at Yarmouth last week, so Michael Herrington's 5-y-o is fancied to continue that good work back on all-weather at the expense of Evoluir, who looks well worth a go at this trip judged on his staying-on second at this track over 6f last week. Coconut Bay is holding her form well better than most at this level so she can take third ahead of True Nation.
