CITY SELECTIONS Durdle Door justified strong market support when winning over this trip at Lingfield last time and he demands respect representing a stable in red-hot form, but preference is for the top-rated ZARZYNI. The five-year-old has posted two solid placed efforts since returning from a break, at this level and above, and he looks to have a big chance under Tom Marquand this evening. Royal Pleasure makes his first start post wind surgery and is worth a market check at least. Durdle Door
