CITY SELECTIONS Intelligentsia looked a useful prospect when scoring on her debut at Newbury last July and, despite failing to live up to expectations in the Dick Poole on her only subsequent run, the daughter of Exceed And Excel should figure prominently. However, she may have to settle for minor honours behind ALIA CHOICE, who impressed when winning over course and distance in February. Ideal Guest drops back in trip on his return and cannot be ruled out either. ALIA CHOICE
