FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Just touched off over course and distance last time, URBS INTACTA MANET(5) can go one better. Also placed on his penultimate outing over fences, the John Flavin-trained gelding comes into this race in better form than the majority of his rivals. Still relatively unexposed as a chaser, the son of Lucky Speed holds strong claims. A Year Older, who ran below par over hurdles here on his latest appearance, may be worth forgiving that run. Trainer Karl Thornton does well at this venue and his gelding is a previous course winner here. Kilkee Bay and Thorntons' other runner Attaboyarchie are others to consider.
