CITY SELECTIONS LIGHT UP OUR STARS completed a course double when winning twice over 7f in the month of April and he ought to remain competitive from a 1lb higher mark. Tony Carroll’s charge is equally as effective at eight furlongs and the gelding is taken to bring up the hat-trick. Jenson Benson remains relatively unexposed on the synthetics and is feared most after his facile success earlier this month, while the top-weighted Magnetised, who appears for the second time following wind surgery, can make his presence felt.

PLAY SMARTER
LIGHT UP OUR STARS should take all the beating in his bid to complete a Chelmsford hat-trick, with the furlong longer trip unlikely to pose a problem. Jenson Benson is another course specialist and looks by far the most serious danger after his recent win here, Dewey Road can finish third.
