CITY SELECTIONS It is hard to get away from SKY BLUE THINKING having won her last three on the all-weather since joining the Adam West outfit. 2lb well-in after her most recent success at Wolverhampton, the daughter of Charming Thought can bring up the four-timer. Bobby On The Beat hasn’t been far away from breaking the maiden tag this season and he is considered, along with course winner Romulan Prince. Ripon scorer Miss Bella Brand and Jackstar complete the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER SKY BLUE THINKING has been a revelation since joining Adam West, completing a quick-fire hat-trick (including victory over this C&D) last month. She gets the vote to make it 4 on the spin and maintain her unbeaten record for this yard carrying the penalty. Miss Bella Brand, Romulan Prince and Trusty Scout look the main dangers in that order.
