CITY SELECTIONS SEAL OF SOLOMON didn’t have much luck when bidding to complete a Yarmouth hat-trick last time, when hampered and losing ground at a crucial stage, and he can be given another chance on his return to all-weather duty. At Liberty continues to knock on the door and he shouldn’t be too far away at the business end of this race, while Travesuras, Salonica and Engrave also hold claims.

PLAY SMARTER

TRAVESURAS has been shaping up well recently and, with an excellent 3lb claimer now taking over in the saddle, he’s fancied to notch a second win. At Liberty proved at least as good as ever when runner-up at Leicester last week and is much respected off the same mark, while Seal of Solomon is worth another chance having not been seen to best effect in his hat-trick bid at Yarmouth.
