CITY SELECTIONS Sir Gregory seeks to double up after scoring over 6f here last week but may find a 5lb penalty too much now dropping down in trip. Therefore, preference is for WINGS OF A DOVE, who despite also being handed a 5lb penalty, won comfortably over 5f on her latest run and she looks very comfortable at this level. Hey Ho Let’s Go also looks feasibly treated, having been given a 3lb rise for his latest win. WINGS OF A DOVE
