CITY SELECTIONS SUN RISING was only narrowly denied over an extended mile at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and she may be hard to beat once again today off just a 1lb higher mark. Copperknob was not disgraced on his handicap debut recently and he remains unexposed, while Eight Of Diamonds and Alpine Lady are others who merit consideration in an open contest.
