CITY SELECTIONS ENFRANCHISE won with plenty in hand at Lingfield last time out and a 3lb rise looks rather lenient for this daughter of Invincible Spirit. The four-year-old may be tough to peg back with a reproduction of that performance and she gets the nod, while Global Art has a respectable record after a break and rates the most immediate danger. Le Reveur hit the line with plenty of conviction when landing the spoils at Wolverhampton last time out and he completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER ENFRANCHISE is on the up and quickened nicely to score at Lingfield last time, so she gets the nod over the in-form Coase, who is also unexposed at this sort of trip. Elmejor is arguably the pick of the remainder, but he’s dependent on a solid gallop.
