Fitzwilly bids to repeat last year’s success in this racing off the same mark. He went close on his penultimate start while Up Ten Down Two finished a close-up fourth over 1m6f last time but that was back in May. Wishing Well was well beaten here in the same month though won over track and trip last summer and Mount Cleshar could go well back over 2m. But URBAN SPIRIT has been narrowly beaten the last twice including over today’s trip at Wetherby and he gets the nod to go one better with Danny Tudhope taking over the reins.
