      Verdict

      CITY CODE beat the re-opposing Host in convincing fashion at Chepstow on his handicap debut. Placed over 6f in the past, this stiff 5f will suit Ralph Beckett’s charge and he can defy a rise in the weights. Aussie Stormer opened his account with a novice success at Wolverhampton and makes his handicap debut while Charlie Fellowes was beaten only a nose over 6f at Kempton recently and has been raised 5lb. Royal Address and Emulate Rose are others dropping down in trip while Silent Queen was placed at Beverley.
