CITY SELECTIONS The unexposed ALHAMMAAM got off the mark over 6f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and he should take plenty of stopping once again today, although the step up in trip is a slight concern. Seesawing has been running consistently well in defeat of late and he should be thereabouts once again, while Woke Media and Almaan complete the shortlist. ALHAMMAAM

Lorenzo Atzori (5) J Stuart Williams, Newmarket T Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly-raced winner. 4/5, didn’t need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event at Newcastle TFRHHHHI BHA76 (6f) 16 days ago. Step back up in trip shouldn’t be an issue and he’s high on the shortlist. Br B g War Front (USA) - Sayedah (IRE) O Emma Ryan & Partner B Galleria Bloodstock & Rhinestone B/stock
Tia Phillips (7) J John Ryan, Newmarket T
TIMEFORM VIEW Course winner. 18/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (14f) 24 days ago, would have benefited TFRHHIII BHA73 from stronger handling. Couldn’t be sure that this significant drop in trip will be in his favour.

First run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when eighth of 12 in handicap (14/1) TFRHHIII BHA67 at this course (7f) 28 days ago, needing stiffer test. Others make greater appeal.

TIMEFORM VIEW Last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and the TFRHHHII BHA66 new headgear will need to spark improvement if she’s to emerge on top here.
