CITY SELECTIONS YONAFIS won with a lot more in hand than the bare margin may suggest at Lingfield last month and the son of Golden Horn looks well capable of defying a penalty here. He is preferred to Mr Big Stuff, who displayed marked improvement from first to second start when third at Nottingham. Charlie Fellowes could also have a say with either of his two newcomers, with slight preference for Sous Les Etoiles, whose talented half-sister Token Of Love won on debut herself. YONAFIS

PLAY SMARTER
YONAFIS overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Lingfield, presumably held in some regard by his top yard given his strength in the market, and he’s taken to defy a penalty. Mr Big Stuff improved massively from his debut when third at Nottingham and can follow the selection home.
