Verdict
URBANIST (NAP) has undertaken the long trek up from Richard Newland’s yard in Worcestershire and should be rewarded with back-to-back victories having jumped well when winning for the second time over fences at Market Rasen on his reappearance. Winning pointer Speak Of The Devil didn’t get far at Haydock eight days ago but had finished second over course and distance earlier and still has time on his side. Capard King hasn’t won since 2016 but is nicely treated if he can recapture former glories. The remainder all have a cloud hanging over them at present.
