CITY SELECTIONS El Camino won over C&D in October, but was forced to race wide at Wolverhampton off his new mark before weakening close home. He can do better now for the yard who won this in 2015 and 2018, but may have to give way to FLORENCE STREET. Second on her last two starts for Andrew Balding, she has her first run for new connections off the same mark here and, if she has been freshened up by a change of scenery, she could be the one. Healing Power is another to consider. FLORENCE STREET
