CITY SELECTIONS THE GAME OF LIFE caught the eye when making late headway to finish third in a low-grade handicap over this C&D earlier this month and he can build on that performance now dropping to this weaker grade. Trevie Fountain appears to be the chief threat to the selection after his latest second at Newcastle and he could be suited by the return to this shorter trip, while Laurentia is one to note for any market support as she tries first-time cheekpieces.

PLAY SMARTER An uninspiring closing contest which can go the way of WESTERN MUSIC. David Barron’s charge produced her best effort to date when third on return at Southwell last month and she can open her account here. Million Reasons is a long-standing maiden but he should make his presence felt, with The Game of Life completing the shortlist.
