CITY SELECTIONS MACS DILEMMA defied odds of 80/1 when making a winning stable debut for John O’Shea at Wolverhampton last month and, entitled to improve for that first outing since June, he could follow up off a 2lb higher mark. Split Elevens placed off a 1lb higher rating at Wolverhampton last week and he warrants respect with a first-time visor replacing the cheekpieces, while Secret To Success also merits consideration under Hollie Doyle.
