CITY SELECTIONS FIGURES emulated her penultimate run last time at Kempton, where she stepped up in trip to force a dead-heat with Seven Pockets over 1m3f. She steps back down in trip here on her handicap debut, but her latest run over this distance saw her win by four lengths so she can make her presence felt once more. Sharpcliff has gone up 8lb from his latest win so may need to find extra, with The Thunderer interesting back down in trip.
