CITY SELECTIONS Dubai Immo wasn’t at his best when fourth at Yarmouth last month, but would be the one to beat here if he can repeat his length fourth at Nottingham in May. He wears a tongue-tie now and may find improvement, but it is interesting that Hollie Doyle rides the newcomer QUANTICO. The son of Make Believe is starting off at a sensible level and might make a winning debut. Good Measure was only beaten a length when third at Nottingham last month and is another to consider.
