CITY SELECTIONS LAFAN took a step up when winning with something in hand over course and distance last month, on his first start after a gelding operation, and the three-year-old may have enough quality to overcome a 5lb higher mark. Commit No Nuisance was successful when last seen over C&D and looks a danger after shaping well at Lingfield on his return from a break last time, while Shining Aitch faced some traffic problems when runner-up at Doncaster on his latest start and can also feature.

PLAY SMARTER SHINING AITCH looked unlucky not to win at Doncaster 22 days ago having been repeatedly denied a clear run and remains of firm interest now back in a handicap. Lafan and Motawaafeq are a pair of credible rivals.
