Verdict
Coda Agency has returned from a lay-off in fine form winning his last two starts over C&D. He looks likely to make another bold bid here but may find MASHOOD too good. The latter opened his account with a victory over C&D on his recent Polytrack debut and, lightly-raced for a five-year-old, Peter Hiatt's charge looks capable of going in again off a 4lb higher mark. Dubburg ended a long losing run when scoring over 1m5f here last time with Vertueux behind and tries this longer trip for the first time, but Tower has plenty to find with the selection on latest running.
