Verdict
Urban Hymn is interesting now he switches to fences, but he was some way behind both Indian Venture and Roveretto over hurdles and looks to have something to find. Roveretto made a successful start to his chasing career, when showing a useful turn off foot to beat the well regarded Seixo Branco over course and distance. A 130 rated hurdler, he has room for improvement over the larger obstacles and looks as though he will make up into a far better chaser than he was over timber. He looks to have an easy task here and has nothing to fear from Indian Venture, who was left trailing in his wake.
