In depth
Verdict
URBAN CHAMPION took a big step forward when second at Wolverhampton on his reappearance and handicap debut and this won’t take much winning. Bath third Raincloud must have some sort of chance and the likes of Khangai, King Kraken and Future Times could also play a part if showing a little improvement.
