Urban Highway⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| BF

4/7

Still a maiden but in good form of late and followed a third here with better effort last weekend when chasing home one who was completing a hat-trick at Lingfield. Clear prospects of going one better today.

Form: 652532

Nervous Nerys⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Hales| OR: 47| CD

5/2

Had shown little this season but benefited from a strong pace to spring a 20/1 shock over C&D in June on good to soft. Has been withdrawn since having been unruly in the stalls and any rain would be welcome.

Form: 5-69051

Dandy Belle^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Ford| OR: 45

20/1

Placed twice in Ireland last year but has gone backwards since joining this yard despite been tried from 7f to 1m3f. Now drops down to the minimum trip but plenty to prove at present.

Form: 898098

Forecasts

Urban Highway (4/7), Nervous Nerys (5/2), Zaula (7/1), Dandy Belle (20/1)

URBAN HIGHWAY has shown enough to suggest a little race like this is within his grasp and last weeks second to the hugely progressive Bay Watch reads well here. Nervous Nerys is the sole winner in the field and looks the logical danger whose chance will be enhanced by significant rain with Zaula taken for minor honours.
