Tom Tulliver has been making hay in classified races lately but has never won a handicap and looks a few pounds too high. KODEBREAKER is back on a winning mark and is effective over this trip. He has an inside draw so looks the one to beat as Galton has been struggling to get his head in front in lesser company. Urban Road looks the pick of the remainder but that’s not saying much.
