Verdict
Most of Urban Space's victories have been achieved on ground with some give and he was only fourth behind BLUE TOP over this track and trip last month on quicker going. No better off at the weights today, it's hard to see how the top weight will reverse that form and Dai Burchell's gelding is fancied to win again if in the same mood. Ballyfarsoon is only 3lb higher than when winning at Hamilton but was earlier behind Captain George at Wolverhampton, though the latter is better on the all-weather. Lineman also seems to prefer Tapeta and Bishop Wulstan has become a moody individual over hurdles.
