Verdict

Urban Kode scored over track and trip last week after a hard fought battle to the line. He'll need further improvement to shrug off a penalty so a chance is taken on COURT OF LAW. Well beaten despite placing in novice events, Donald McCain's charge may improve enough now handicapping for the first time to land this modest contest. Sendiym remains 6lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield in September while Pixie Cut continues to slide down the weights without showing any benefit and Bob's Legend arrives badly out of form.
