BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

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.

PLAY SMARTER PERCY JONES showed improved form when runner-up at Lingfield last month, just unlucky to bump into a potentially above-average newcomer for this time of year, and he’s taken to go one better. Themoonsaballoon can make her presence felt on the pick of her form, while Beny Nahar Road is a newcomer to note given his eye-catching pedigree.
