The winners' enclosure beckons for URBAN SPACE now back over ten furlongs, with the progressive Seattle Speight considered the main danger. John Flint's gelding runs the track well and he was a tad unfortunate to bump into On Khee here last time out. Whilst his handicap mark of 73 is towards the upper limit of his ability his good young jockey can eek out another victory. Seattle Speight chases a hat-trick after two Yarmouth wins and he seems to be gelling with his talented young rider; a 7lb rise in the weights asks more questions however. Abhar has won at the track before, Sandy Shaw was rewarded for a series of strong runs with victory at Bath last month, whilst it was a similar story for Choral Festival who scraped home here last time out. Laish Ya Hajar and Peace Corps both have plenty of weight to carry and therefore both are taken out of the equation.
