Verdict
Glen Esk could be interesting dropping down a grade but the extra furlong isn’t certain to suit on breeding. Strawman was staying on at Beverley, however, and makes more appeal than Our Dave, who only won a seller at Catterick. Overpriced Mixer was a relatively cheap purchase but has only been beaten a head the last twice, including over this trip at Kempton. URBAN HERO is by sprinter Elzaam but his dam stayed a mile and Archie Watson’s newcomer is fancied to make a winning debut.
