Jamie Powell has been on board for all three of URBAN OASIS' victories, two of them on this track. Not surprisingly John Feane's charge has risen significantly in the weights but may have another victory in him. Lady Arwen is a rapidly-improving filly who won with a bit in hand over today's rival Eighty Eight here last month and a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent another big run. Impero still looked inexperienced at Roscommon and should have come on a bundle for the run.
