URBAN ASPECT took a while to warm to his task at Chester in June but got up in the closing stages and this more galloping track should see him in a better light. Andrew Balding’s colt is preferred to the filly Chippie Hill, who made hard work of landing the odds at Yarmouth though is open to improvement. Carlisle runner-up Bin Makfi also has plenty of scope and another likely improver is Verdigris. Tiara Gold might need the run but Minovia will be qualified for handicaps after this and is worth noting. 3.55
