In depth
Verdict
Urbanist has attracted market support in both starts for Richard Newland but his latest third at Bangor suggests he’s high enough in the weights at present. The trip would be a concern for Charlie Papa Lima and others nearer the foot of the handicap are preferred. Findusatgorcombe has been raised 4lb since back-to-back seconds at Fontwell and BIG TIME FRANK was second over track and trip before filling the same place at Lingfield, when beaten only a neck. he’s only gone up 2lb so gets the nod. Blackmill was let down by his jumping at Huntingdon but will strip fitter today.
