CITY SELECTIONS In this competitive contest marginal preference is for DIFFIDENT SPIRIT, who shaped better than the bare result suggests when sixth at Kempton last time out. The son of Sayif can defy a quick turnaround and gets the nod to record a third career victory. The handicapper continues to give Global Art a chance and he merits consideration, while Must Be Royale is another to note. DIFFIDENT SPIRIT
