TALIS EVOLVERE beat Urban Sprawl by a neck at Wolverhampton but can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice taking over the reins and claiming 5lb. The latter has subsequently gone close again while Crownthorpe wasn’t beaten far when fourth in a blanket finish at Newcastle and can race off the same mark. Top Secret and Escobar drop down in class with a shout but Evocative Spark has proved best on Turf so far.
