CITY SELECTIONS This can go the way of SURREY PRINCESS, who is 2lb better off with Flower Of Thunder for a length defeat at Leicester last month. The selection’s sole career win came over C&D in February and she is preferred to the likes of Headshot, who is not guaranteed to see out the extra two furlongs, and course specialist Bayston Hill. Dew You Believe and Sun Festival can also have a say in proceedings. SURREY PRINCESS
