CITY SELECTIONS CITY SELECTIONS ATALANTA BREEZE was outpaced before staying on well behind a subsequent winner over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in September. Similar to her success over the same track and trip on her penultimate start, the five-year-old gave every impression that she would relish a step up in trip. Socially Shady has been runner-up over this distance in the past and she can give the selection most to think about, although C&D winner Chocolate Box is also likely to figure.

PLAY SMARTER This will take very little winning and MANJAAM looks the best option after a couple of solid efforts at Newcastle. He has been dropped another 2lb and could make the most of a decent opportunity. Atalanta Breeze is running well at the moment and she looks the main danger. Pianissimo is sliding down the weights and he could play a part too.
