BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

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.

PLAY SMARTER IF YOU DARE is worth another chance back on AW having looked better than ever when winning at Lingfield last month. Tiger Crusade ended last season with a career-best win at Kempton and has a good record fresh, so also needs considering along with the thriving Aramis Grey.
