Verdict
Bernisdale won twice at this time last year then turned to hurdles and won at Sedgefield in September though she pulled up on her latest start in December. Urban Space won't mind the cut in the ground and isn't too badly handicap for a horse who has won six times while Sweet World, who likes this track, was gaining his 11th victory when landing a handicap over hurdles at Worcester last week. Bold Cross has won here but does better on fast ground while Cuckoo Rock has been placed a couple of times around here and should go well. ASHKALARA has three career victories to her credit and two have been here. She was having her first start since October when staying on over a mile at Kempton a fortnight ago and that should have put her straight for a third course victory. Hamilton Hill's only victory came over 1m6f at Yarmouth though he did run well over a mile at Bath last time.
