BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS JUNGLE RUN is taken to outstay these rivals on his return to action. Entitled to have improved from two to three years, Tom Clover’s charge scored on his final outing as a juvenile at Wolverhampton over 7f, when sporting first-time blinkers (worn again today), and placed on his only previous visit to this track. Theoretical is very interesting on his handicap debut and joins Good To Go on the shortlist.
