CITY SELECTIONS The Hughie Morrison-trained BEGGARMAN got the better of an in-form rival when breaking his maiden at Kempton last time and, with improvement still a possibility at this trip, the gelded son of Toronado gets the vote. Socially Shady was only narrowly denied over course and distance four days ago and rates a big danger now dropping in grade, while Love Poems arrives on the back of a course win and is worthy of respect on her first try at this trip.

PLAY SMARTER It’s difficult to look past BEGGARMAN in his current form. He’s improved tackling this trip on polytrack this autumn and can continue that progression tonight with another victory. Love Poems steps up in trip after her win over 14f here last month and may pose the biggest threat. Socially Shady has to be considered too.
