BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS STREET POET is a consistent performer on the all-weather and was successful over C&D a couple of starts ago. The veteran hit the crossbar off this mark over a mile here subsequently and a reproduction of that level of form may well be good enough to land this contest. Recent Yarmouth winner Rogue Storm could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Hiromichi and Sapphire’s Moon.

PLAY SMARTER HIROMICHI impressed with his attitude when opening his account at Ffos Las last week, so he’s fancied to go in again. Sapphire’s Moon will be suited by a return to 7f and heads the opposition, along with recent Yarmouth-scorer Rogue Storm.
