CITY SELECTIONS MAIN TARGET is entitled to improve from his Kempton effort earlier in the month, with it being his first run since November 2020, and the four-year-old, who hung left under pressure on that occasion, may well prefer a return to a left-handed course. Dutch Decoy has been in consistent form in recent weeks and he is expected to be in the mix once again. Others to consider include Legende D’art and Cry Havoc. MAIN TARGET
