CITY SELECTIONS SAMMY SUNSHINE showed a willing attitude when winning at Kempton and Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Sea The Moon, who may still have more to offer for Rebecca Menzies, looks the best option. Dual course winner Pips Tune ran well when upped in grade at Doncaster last time and is feared, while Masqool isn’t fully exposed over this sort of trip and should also be on the premises.

PLAY SMARTER THE BAY WARRIOR scored in good style on his sole previous visit here last spring and he could be the answer. Mark Usher’s charge wasn’t helped by the muddling pace when sixth in the Kempton handicap won by Sammy Sunshine last month and he has a good chance of turning the tables with that rival here. That said, Sammy Sunshine is clearly in good heart and she is feared most ahead of Masqool and Pips Tune.
