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.

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.
