BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS SMART CONNECTION displayed a smart turn of foot when getting off the mark at Lingfield last month and the four-year-old looks the one to beat on just his fourth start for this yard. William Buick takes the ride on Aiguillette and the Gary Moore-trained gelding could make another bold bid on a surface which suits him well, while Kodimoor showed himself to be in good form when runner-up over course and distance last time and can also feature.

PLAY SMARTER SMART CONNECTION broke his duck in convincing fashion at Lingfield a fortnight ago and looks capable of following up on that evidence. Zefferino and Kodimoor make most appeal of the opposition, especially the former who pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up on his latest outing at Bath.
