CITY SELECTIONS SILVER BUBBLE has been shaping as though she will relish the step up to this trip, and this might be a good opportunity for her to break her maiden tag. Soyuz showed more encouraging signs at Wolverhampton and may also feature if she can settle better, while Bookmark also has a chance if she can bounce back from her run at Yarmouth.
