    Verdict

    URBAN SPACE has no easy task at the weights but the gelding has proved the very model of consistency since joining John Flint and has developed into something of a course specialist with three wins and four seconds to his name from eight runs at the track. He hasn't won on soft ground but appeared to handle it well enough when beating all bar leading Cambridgeshire fancy Absinthe at this track on his penultimate start. Essexbridge comfortably landed a Leicester claimer to record a second career success but this looks likely to be his first run with soft in the going description whilst Cut The Cackle has a little to prove over the longest trip that he's encountered by some margin and Tammela may give the selection more to do.
