BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS MIDGETONAMISSION was given too much to do when finishing fourth at Newcastle earlier this month. The two-year-old filly now steps up in distance and a chance is taken on her to build on her recent performance. Eight Of Diamonds is one to note trying a first-time hood, while Mcqueen is also considered on her all-weather debut after a respectable display at Yarmouth.

PLAY SMARTER MIDGETONAMISSION remains a maiden following nine attempts, but she again performed with credit when fourth at Newcastle last week and this represents a good opportunity for the David Evans-trained filly to open her account. Second choice is Eight of Diamonds, who didn’t appear to get home upped to 1 1/4m here last month and better is expected back at this trip. Petal Power also enters calculations.
