CITY SELECTIONS CATCH MY BREATH turns out under a penalty following his victory at Lingfield last week and the manner of that win suggested he is capable of backing that performance up. Well Prepared’s recent second at Wolverhampton gives him solid credentials as he races off the same mark, while Boy George, who has finished runner-up on his last four starts, and Elusif are feared most of the remainder.
