BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS HANNALITE was too keen for her own good when disappointing at Lingfield last time, but a return to the form that saw her place in her previous three outings, including once over this course and distance, could be enough to land this contest. Smart Qibli is the highest rated on official figures and could go well if granted an easy lead, while Cinzento hinted at a return to form when fifth over this trip at Southwell last time.

PLAY SMARTER CINZENTO took this event 12 months ago and rates the pick at these weights too so gets the nod in a race where most have major question marks against them. Hannalite saw her run of good form come to an end when only eighth at Lingfield last week but can’t be ruled out here with Teemlucky another maiden who warrants respect after her solid Wolverhampton fourth.
