CITY SELECTIONS TRAWLERMAN readily accounted for a useful rival in a maiden at Pontefract last April and his most recent outing came in a top-class renewal of the Classic Trial at Sandown later that month. A mark of 93 should be workable for this son of Golden Horn and he cannot be discounted. Inigo Jones showed promise on multiple occasions last year and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward this year. Others to note are U S S Michigan and Forest Falcon.

PLAY SMARTER TRAWLERMAN has been off for a best part of a year but he shaped better than the bare result in what has turned out to be a vintage renewal of the Classic Trial at Sandown so an opening mark of 93 looks highly workable. Inigo Jones showed useful form last season and remains unexposed as a 4-y-o, while U S S Michigan made a positive start for this yard at Newcastle.
