Forecasts

Urban Sprawl (9/4), Platinum Girl (3/1), Machito (10/3), Manwhothinkshecan (11/2), What A Dude (11/2), Queenmambo (50/1)

None of these can be ruled out but URBAN SPRAWL has improved with each of his three runs so far and gets the verdict with this step up to 7f promising to yield further progress. Fellow handicap debutant Machito looks to have got in on a lenient mark and is feared most, although Manwhothinkshecan is also not taken lightly on his first go over this distance now handicapping.
