CITY SELECTIONS TIMESTAMP shed the maiden tag in emphatic style over C&D last time out, putting five lengths between himself and his nearest rival. The son of No Nay Never relished the step up in trip and can repeat that feat under a 6lb penalty. Shut Up And Dance is unbeaten over this trip and demands the utmost respect, while Copperplate is another to consider.

PLAY SMARTER The combination of a gelding operation, step up in trip, tongue tie and switch to handicaps resulted in a much-improved display from TIMESTAMP when winning over C&D on Tuesday and he looks ahead of the game under a penalty. Copperplate has upped his game in blinkers of late and is the obvious threat.
