CITY SELECTIONS A convincing winner at Newcastle last month, JABBAR is a confident selection to go in again here for his in-form connections. Just over three lengths behind him on that occasion was Alphonse Le Grande, who is expected to get closer here courtesy of a 5lb pull at the weights, while Delphinus can also have a say on her first start in nursery company. Dashing To You was a respectable third over C&D last month and he is entitled to improve for that run.

PLAY SMARTER ALPHONSE LE GRANDE was a big eye-catcher behind Jabbar at Newcastle last time (likely to have been involved in the finish with a clear run) and he looks ready to strike. Jabbar showed improved form himself to get off the mark making nursery debut in a first-time visor and is the obvious threat again.
