CITY SELECTIONS SPIRIT MIXER won on his latest outing at Salisbury when staying on well in the closing stages over 1m6f and the four-year-old could have more to offer, having gone up 2lb for that victory. Man Of Riddles was runner-up when searching for a hat-trick of victories here last month and he is expected to be in the mix once again, while a step up in trip may bring about further improvement from King Francis, who scored over 1m3f at Kempton on his penultimate start.
