BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS The Stuart Williams bandwagon rolls on and the Newmarket handler looks to have a cracking chance here with SOYOUNIQUE. The five-year-old was always doing enough over 7f at Lingfield last week and, due to go up 4lb in the near future, he could take full advantage of being quickly turned out again. Eleven Eleven drops in both trip and class and should make his presence felt, while Bahia Star also merits consideration with Tom Marquand in the plate.

PLAY SMARTER This can go the way of SOYOUNIQUE, who opened his account for Stuart Williams at Lingfield last week and being 4lb “well in” here, he looks the way to go. Bahia Star ran up to her best on all-weather debut/reappearance last month so she could provide the main danger if building on that effort, ahead of the Mick Appleby-trained pair Finery and Clipsham Tiger.
