BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS A case can be made for several of these, but a chance is taken on INVASIVE. The two-year-old filly shaped with promise when posting an encouraging second at Newcastle and she could have more to offer on her nursery debut, with first-time cheekpieces applied. Baileysgutfeeling seemed to have something left in reserve when scoring at Brighton last month and he could be a player if transferring that form to the all-weather, while Kennet and Lightening Gesture also make the shortlist.

This is extremely open and competitive. APPEARING just gets the nod on handicap debut having shaped encouragingly on his qualifying run at Lingfield last month. He’s the type to take a big step forward. Smiling Sunflower has been consistent and she deserves to get her head in front. Buachaill has shaped as though he’ll improve in handicaps too.
