CITY SELECTIONS BRUTE FORCE boasts a tremendous record at this venue and the Roger Teal-trained six-year-old gets the nod to record a second victory over C&D. The son of Paco Boy stayed on in determined fashion to get the better of Bayston Hill on his penultimate outing and he can repeat that feat. The latter must be respected, while Wendell’s Lass completes the shortlist. BRUTE FORCE
