Verdict

Urban Space had dropped to a lowly mark when scoring at Chepstow in May and has since won another three races. He hasn't been raised too much for his latest victories and has won off higher marks in the past. Tempuran is a rare runner on Turf these days but stays the trip well enough as does RAINBOW PRIDE, who went up 10lb for scoring at Chelmsford in October and ran well enough in this grade at Lingfield on his reappearance to suggest he can take this. Oratorio's Joy is reasonably consistent in this grade and is 7lb lower than her last victory in January so she could provide the main threat.
