CITY SELECTIONS FORD MADOX BROWN has stepped forward on his last couple of starts, including when third here earlier in the month, and the four-year-old, who didn’t get the rub of the green in the closing stages on that occasion, is capable of getting his head back in front. Must Be Royale has shown promise on the all-weather and could have more to offer after his recent spins on turf, while Blame Culture and Eternal Glory appeal most of the remainder. FORD MADOX BROWN
