It was soft going when Wholelotafun scored over track and trip in August but others have stronger form including Mutazawwed and Kohinoor. The latter pair have both won over 6f in soft ground but a chance is taken on URBAN WAR handling the underfoot conditions. He bids for a hat-trick on his handicap debut having won at Beverley last time and is also preferred to Newbury third Farasi Lane. Conservatoire may do better now handicapping though has only raced on faster going so far.
