Verdict

IMOLA has shown improved form for current connections and was running well before unseating at Newcastle recently. She can make amends here, while R P McMurphy won impressively at Wolverhampton and looks progressive despite a 5lb rise. Kodebreaker has previous course wins and returned to form when second at Wolverhampton last time.

2	Won a 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (15/8) 13 days ago, making good headway to lead in the final furlong.

6	Better on AW surfaces with two course wins at Southwell. Hampered when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14/1) over 7f 18 days ago, returning to form back down in trip. Without a win in 20 races but could build on that latest effort back at a track where has previously won. 3rd Pick 6 Kodebreaker (Ire) Jockey: Zak Wheatley Trainer: Michael Herrington J: Zak Wheatley T: Michael Herrington	93	-	-	-	13%	7/1
