CITY SELECTIONS The unexposed ALMAAN put in a career best when winning over C&D nine days ago and he is hard to oppose once again this evening, despite a 7lb rise in the ratings. Jenson Benson has proven to be a consistent performer in recent months and could be in the mix once again. Agent Of Fortune edges out Adace to be the pick of the remainder.
