1:45 Beverley Tips

Urban Glimpse is worth another chance after a disappointing seasonal return, which can likely be forgiven given the circumstances. He reappeared from a 295-day break in a strong Class 2 handicap over 1m2f, finishing 6th, beaten 13½ lengths off 86 in a competitive 0??'100 contest. Despite the result, he was sent off at 5/1, suggesting much better was expected. The run may simply have been needed after such a long absence. There are positives in his profile from last season, particularly a solid 2nd in a Class 4 3yo handicap when beaten 2¼ lengths by the now 97-rated Sing Us A Song. That form looks strong in the context of this race and suggests his current mark remains workable. This will also be his second start following a gelding operation, which could bring improvement now fitness levels are higher. The handicapper has eased him 1 lb and, importantly, he drops back into Class 4 company after contesting a much tougher race on return. With the benefit of that comeback outing and facing easier opposition here, Urban Glimpse looks capable of taking a significant step forward and holds solid claims.

Kept on to take second over a furlong and a half further at Windsor 12 days ago. Remains on the same mark, and the first-time cheekpieces could inspire.

Mafting was always struggling to get involved from a wide draw at York last time, but with the rail draw here he should be well positioned throughout and should go close.
