Plenty of these arrive in good form, none more so than Urban Space who defied a 7lb rise in the ratings to complete a double at Bath. He has a 6lb penalty to contend with but should still get competitive. Dalgig gained his first-ever success over the track and trip three weeks ago when he landed a claimer in comfortable fashion. He's now with David Pipe so will be hurdling before long though it would be no surprise if he were to complete a double under a 7lb claimer. Space Walker won here in May and ran easily his best race since here last Monday when runner-up to Topamichi while Yul Finegold followed his victory in a Chepstow seller with a much better run in a handicap at Goodwood. CHARLIE WELLS landed a Newmarket handicap in August and has performed with credit in better handicaps subsequently so has as good a chance as any in a very open handicap and gets the vote.
