CITY SELECTIONS Cases can be made for a few but the casting vote goes to PORFIN, who was not disgraced when finishing second at Southwell last week. The son of Belardo has been holding his form well on the all-weather this winter and he can build on his recent effort now dropping back to this shorter trip. Amasova is not to be underestimated after her success at Wolverhampton earlier in the month, while Mick’s Spirit and Portelet Bay also make the shortlist. PORFIN
