CODIAK is proving a good advert for the skills of Ed Bethell and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he is fancied to bag a third success in his last 4 starts and thwart the handily-weighted Just An Hour who looks primed for a bold showing after an encouraging return here. Rock N Roll Pinkie goes really well round here and also enters calculations.
