CITY SELECTIONS PERCY JONES’ most recent second at Lingfield may well be the best form on offer in this open-looking contest and his rating of 78 sets the standard. Themoonsaballoon is likely to improve for the step up in trip, having been outpaced the last twice at Kempton and Wolverhampton. Beny Nahar Road catches the eye on pedigree alone being a half-brother to Hong Kong Cup winner Akeed Mofeed, while Neandra is also of interest for a stable that knows how to ready one. PERCY JONES
