CITY SELECTIONS BASCULE arrives here on the back of a hat-trick of victories in recent months and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop the progressive three-year-old. Justus remains unexposed and he should not be underestimated on his debut for these connections, while Moliwood and Marshall Plan also merit places on the shortlist. BASCULE
