CITY SELECTIONS Cuban Breeze won here last month and has run well twice at Wolverhampton since, including another success there last time. He’s now 12lb higher than when successful at this track so EXPERT OPINION may prove better treated. A consistent sort at this track without getting his head in front this winter, Henry Spiller’s gelding could be the answer here. Atiyah wasn’t beaten that far at Southwell last time, while Dark Side Prince is consistent enough to have his say. EXPERT OPINION
