CITY SELECTIONS Cases can be made for a few but preference goes to WHITTLE LE WOODS, who made a promising stable debut for Mick Appleby when staying on well to finish second at Newcastle earlier this month. The son of Lethal Force now steps up in trip and he can defy a 1lb rise for that latest effort. Porfin has been in terrific form but this appears to be a tougher assignment for him in this higher grade, while Full Intention and Legende D’art also make the shortlist. WHITTLE LE WOODS

David Probert J Simon Pearce, Newmarket T Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Five-time C&D winner, including on his latet start in October. Only 1lb higher so likely to have a say if TFRHHHHI BHA79 returning from a break in similar form. Br B g Lethal Force (IRE) - Lady Loch O The Horse Watchers 4 B Highfield Farm LLP
Jason Watson J Michael Appleby, Oakham T
TIMEFORM VIEW Made an encouraging start for shrewd new connections when close second at Newcastle (6f) TFRHHHHH BHA77 (+1) last week. Leading claims with the step back up to 7f likely to help if anything.

Jason Hart J Stuart Williams, Newmarket T Tote S TIMEFORM VIEW Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) in October (final start for Roger Varian). TFRHHHII BHA75 Tongue strap on first time. Interesting to see how he goes in betting on yard debut. Br B g Distorted Humor (USA) - Time On O Mr T Morley, Mr D Reynolds, Mr C Watkins B W. & R.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fifth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (7f) 29 days ago. Now below the mark she won at TFRHHIII BHA70 Doncaster last summer but others are still more persuasive. Br B g Belardo (IRE) - Tropical Mist (IRE) O Mr Trevor Johnson B Denis McDonnell
Hollie Doyle J Phil McEntee, Newmarket T Tallon International Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Thriving for new yard, winning 3 times between 5f and 7f in recent weeks. Just stretched by 1m TFRHHHHI BHA63 (+2) at Lingfield 6 days ago and likely he’s still in good form. Br Gr g Gleneagles (IRE) - Silver Clouds (IRE) O FOSNIC RACING B The Pocock Family
Theodore Ladd (3) J Michael Appleby, Oakham T Trade Access Panels Ltd S TIMEFORM VIEW Course winner (1m) in October. Respectable fourth of 8 here (1m again) 7 days ago. Down in trip. TFRHHHII BHA67 (-2) Whittle Le Woods looks yard first string. Br B g Kingman - Legende Bleue O Dethrone Racing B Dayton Investments Ltd
Hayley Turner J Henry Spiller, Newmarket T CG Asset Management S TIMEFORM VIEW Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner C&D handicap 35 days ago. Had a couple of next-time-out TFRHHHHI BHA64 winners in behind him on that occasion so a 3lb rise looks fair. Cheekpieces back on. Considered. 20
