CITY SELECTIONS WRATH OF HECTOR may have produced a minor surprise to win at Southwell earlier in the month but the form of that race has worked out well since, and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa can only be a plus. Mashaan would hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate win at Lingfield, while Critical Thinking has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be thereabouts once more. Tell’em Nowt and last year’s winner Last Date also warrant consideration. WRATH OF HECTOR
