CITY SELECTIONS BRAINS is 2-7 at this venue and has racked up a hat-trick in the past, so must be taken seriously following back-to-back wins at Lingfield and Ffos Las. Impressive wins, too, a clear indicator that Jamie Osborne has his five-year-old back to his best. The only slight concern would be the trip, but he’s lightly raced over 10 furlongs and can strike at the main expense of Global Art and Dual Identity.

PLAY SMARTER KENTUCKY KINGDOM has a tremendous record at this venue and he’s chanced to make it 4 C&D wins tonight. He wasn’t disgraced at Newbury when the race wasn’t run to suit last time and should get back on track here. Desert Emperor is unexposed and may take a step forward after a series of solid efforts. Abrag could offer some each-way value on just his third start for Alice Haynes.
