CITY SELECTIONS David O’Meara has hit a rich vein of form lately and it may be worth chancing IMPERIAL KHAN. Still a maiden after six starts, he was beaten less than three lengths at Ripon off this mark earlier in the month and may do better if ridden with a little more restraint. Wrought Iron is an obvious danger with successes at Wolverhampton and Lingfield already this season, while Glasstrees deserves a win after some decent placed efforts. IMPERIAL KHAN
