CITY SELECTIONS An eye-catcher on his first start for this yard at Wolverhampton recently, Irish import BOASTY appeals most as he looks to go one better off a mark 3lb higher. Runner-up on his last five outings, Blazer Two may well have to settle for minor honours again, whereas Lake Sand arrives here 2lb below his last winning mark. Completing the shortlist are Carmela Soprano, Catch My Breath and Fen Tiger. BOASTY
