BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS FORESHADOW didn’t get a clear run last time when third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, this extra yardage should be right up his street and he is fancied to get his head in front for the first time in his career. All About Alice and Rita Rana have contested the same two races recently and there hasn’t been much to chose between them, although perhaps the former may just edge that battle this time.

PLAY SMARTER FORESHADOW caught the eye from a long way back when third at Wolverhampton recently and the form looks solid, so he gets the vote to open his account. There are a number of interesting handicap debutants in opposition however, most notably Satanic Moon, who is bred to be much better than a mark of 62.
