BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS Moving up in trip on her handicap debut at Leicester three weeks ago, SNAP AMBUSH displayed improved form to take second and is well worth another chance. Sir Mark Prescott’s filly gets a weight-for-age allowance and is open to stacks more improvement at this stage of her career. Miss Harmony is more experienced than the selection and boasts winning course form, so she’s noted along with Asraabb and Hashtagmetoo.

PLAY SMARTER Sir Mark Prescott’s progressive filly SNAP AMBUSH signalled she’s ready to open her account when a promising Leicester second on her recent return and can go one better off an unchanged mark. Engrave is always to be highly respected round here and should have a say too off a reduced mark, while course-winners Hashtagmetoo and Miss Harmony also need factoring in for place purposes.
