CITY SELECTIONS Following a series of progressive runs over six and seven furlongs, MACKENZIE ROSE must be respected up in trip for Mark & Charlie Johnston. She made her all-weather debut at Kempton last August and placed third behind Fast Attack (now rated 104). She has an appealing pedigree and looks set to improve now up in trip. Of the remainder, Flintstone seems to be improving since switching to handicaps, with They Don’t Know shaping best of the rest.

PLAY SMARTER FLINTSTONE ran a fine race on handicap debut at Kempton earlier this month and is an obvious candidate to get off the mark here for Hannon & Moore. Court of Session showed fair form at 2 yrs and is likely to improve for the step up in trip on his return, whilst the consistent They Don’t Know is another with a leading chance.
