CITY SELECTIONS This can go the way of FLYAWAYDREAM, who got off the mark in decisive fashion at Chepstow last month and should appreciate going back up in trip. A mark of 77 on his handicap debut looks feasible and he can see off the likes of Lingfield winner Plastic Paddy and Adelita, who is capable on her day. Justice Protecol hasn’t shown much this season, but he is a player based on the pick of his form from last season.

PLAY SMARTER FLYAWAYDREAM heads into handicaps from what appears a very fair opening mark judged on his overall form, so he’s taken to follow up his recent maiden success at Chepstow. Plastic Paddy warrants respect under a 5lb penalty, while They Don’t Know is expected to bounce back from a below-par display at Lingfield
