Been confirmed by Gordon Elliott that Codd will ride Braeside in the National Hunt Chase and Smoking Gun in the Kim Muir. Rob James gets the ride on Frontal Assault in the Kim Muir (claiming 7lb) and Run Wild Fred in the National Hunt Chase (unable to claim the 7lb).

Rob James won the Kim Muir two years ago so it is interesting that he still claims the full seven pounds.
Does anyone no the problem between Gigginstown and Codd as he never rides for them
From what I understand, there is little to read into it with Codd primarily riding for Elliott rather than Gigginstown. As Ramruma noted, James won the Kim Muir for Gigginstown two year ago, so believe he is probably their first choice amateur.
I can't actually remember the last time Codd rode for Gigginstown anywhere? Don't know if that data is easily accessible anywhere?
James has also been booked for Sire Du Berlais in the Pertemps and one in the ULTIMA but am struggling to remember just who!!!

O’Leary also said on Tuesday there has been no falling out with the champion amateur jockey Jamie Codd and the Gigginstown team will continue to use his services when required.
Codd has ridden some of Gigginstown’s best bumper horses in recent seasons, including the hugely impressive Samcroin in his first two racecourse appearances.
However Lisa O’Neill has been riding the majority of O’Leary’s bumper runners this season and will be on board Caltex at Punchestown on Wednesday.
“Hopefully Jamie will ride a lot of point-to-pointers for us. There’s no falling out. He can ride any point-to-pointer of ours he wants,” O’Leary said.
“Lisa is on the bumper horses. She’s very good, she has a very valuable claim, she’s in the yard [Gordon Elliott’s] and she’s smart. Jamie can ride all the point -to-pointers he wants and if Lisa is unavailable we’ll use Jamie as well,” he added.
