CITY SELECTIONS BILLY MILL seems to save his best form for the all-weather after recording an encouraging second-placed effort at Wolverhampton earlier this month. The three-year-old colt gets the vote to build on that performance and is able to race off the same mark here. Eagle Creek appears to be the chief threat after his latest success but he has to overcome a 7lb rise and a wide draw, while If You Dare, Prince Of Abington and Riknnah also hold claims in an open contest.

PLAY SMARTER RIKNNAH caught the eye at Kempton 2 months ago so she could be ready to resume progress. Eagle Creek won in good style here last time and is a threat along with Billy Mill and Prince of Abington, who can be relied upon to give their running.
