CITY SELECTIONS In an open race the marginal preference is for LAST DATE, who has a very good record at this track and he is 1lb lower than when a close third over C&D two weeks ago. That said, recent Kempton scorer Inclement Weather could give him plenty to think about this evening. Others to note are Makambe, Jenson Benson and Katyusha.

TIMEFORM VIEW Well-backed 7/2, first run since leaving Lee Carter when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, left poorly placed and not unduly punished. Down in grade so he’s very much one to consider. TFRHHHHH BHA67
