CITY SELECTIONS Glen Etive seeks to make an impression on his handicap debut in a first-time hood, but improvement should not be ruled out for GOSSAMER SILK. A return to the all-weather could spark additional enthusiasm into the four-year-old, who finished a good second on her penultimate outing at Wolverhampton and was not disgraced in her recent effort at Yarmouth. Super Julius is another to note now up in trip..

PLAY SMARTER COMPANY MINX is more than capable of winning at this level and, from a handy inside stall, she gets the nod with Harry Davies taking 5lb off her back. Gossamer Silk, Brazen Arrow and Mellencamp can battle it out for minor honours.
