CITY SELECTIONS In this competitive contest marginal preference is for APOLLO ONE, who was by no means disgraced at Newmarket last time. The four-year-old may be able to take a step forward off 2lb lower and gets the vote to land the spoils. Tiger Crusade ended last term with a career-best effort and rates the most immediate danger, while Popmaster completes the shortlist. APOLLO ONE
