CITY SELECTIONS A big run from Soyounique in the opening race would boost the claims of SPLIT ELEVENS, who was only a neck behind that gelding over this trip at Lingfield last week. John Butler’s charge is proven here and he is 1lb well in this evening, so another bold bid beckons. Bobby On The Beat won a 0-70 handicap over 6f at Lingfield recently and he warrants respect now quickly turned out again under a 5lb penalty, while Trepidation also holds solid claims.
