In depth
Verdict
Winning form is in short supply though URBAN FOREST and Uther Pendragon filled the places over track and trip last time. The former is taken to confirm running in first-time cheekpieces while the latter may well prove the biggest danger. Limelighter placed over hurdles recently while Merweb could prove best of the rest.
