In depth
Verdict
Talenti's last three wins have come in claiming company and he is probably worth opposing upped in grade in this, while the merit of Treacle Tart's Wolverhampton win is open to debate. Pertuis has to be considered, however, after getting off the mark at the 18th attempt on his UK debut at Lingfield. This extra furlong won't be a problem to Harry Dunlop's French import but the grey looks close enough in the weights to URBAN SPACE, who had form in better company on turf in the summer and looked to be on the way back at Wolverhampton last week.
