CITY SELECTIONS A drop in trip could be just what the doctor ordered for QUARTER BLUE, having shown plenty of pace over further on her last two outings. Not beaten far on either of those occasions, a mark of 50 gives her possibilities as she looks to hold off the challenge of the well-handicapped Aces, who bounced back to form with a solid effort at Kempton. C&D winner Maid Millie is likely to enter the reckoning along with Irish Times, who is 6lb better off for a narrow defeat behind Vincenzo Coccotti here in September.

PLAY SMARTER This is a very trappy low-grade affair and it might be worth looking for something at a bigger price. BRAZEN ARROW hasn’t been disgraced in recent runs, particularly when second over C&D on his penultimate start. He is chanced to gain a first career win. Maid Millie and Aces both have plenty of experience and should be involved in the finish too.
