CITY SELECTIONS VIGNONI displayed plenty of promise when finishing second on his racecourse debut over 7f at Kempton last May and he confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort over hurdles on his sole subsequent run in November. The unexposed four-year-old should have no problem returning to the level and he just gets the vote over Dark Flyer, who finished third at Wolverhampton recently. Depart A Minuit is another with valid form claims, while No Fear Lucy and T Maxie both merit market inspections. VIGNONI
