    Verdict

    Urban Space has won here twice already this year and scored again over today’s trip at Ffos Las during the week. Hector Crouch’s allowance negates most of a penalty but PETRIFY (NAP) escapes a penalty altogether having won an apprentices’ race over track and trip last week. He beat Grams And Ounces on that occasion with Tamarillo Grove further behind and had also finished well ahead of stablemate Honour Promise when scoring here earlier. A hat-trick of course and distance wins beckons for Bernard Llewellyn’s charge.
