    Verdict

    URBAN SPRAWL made a winning start in handicaps when upped to today’s trip at Catterick. He made all on that occasion and is the one to beat if allowed his own way in front once again. Both of the remaining pair step up in distance with Chester novice winner Metahorse preferred to Gulmarg, who landed a maiden at Chepstow last month.
