    Verdict

    Walter Swinburn's Absinthe gained a well deserved success when landing a decent handicap at Sandown earlier this month and he has every chance of following up but a 4lb rise for that win may prevent him from doing so and preference is for another recent winner, URBAN SPACE, who can confirm course and distance form over Peace Corps, who he beat by a length and a half and meets on just 3lb worse terms. James Toller's At Wits End has run some reasonable races this term but he remains a maiden so may be best watched and a bigger threat is likely to come from Pat Eddery's Hidden Glory, who is closely matched with Absinthe on running at Sandown.
