A couple of these won their respective divisions of a handicap over track and trip last month. Little Ted remains on a winning mark despite a 5lb rise but the progressive URBAN ROAD makes most appeal in this. The latter was winning for the third time this year when beating a subsequent winner and another bold bid is expected. Cosa Sara looks stuck on her current mark but Port Erin may improve now handicapping.
