CITY SELECTIONS SCHWARTZ has hit the ground running since returning from a break and a 6lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from landing the four-timer. He takes a drop in distance today, but he looks a versatile sort and the lightly-raced four-year-old appears open to further progress. The Sir Mark Prescott-trained Gordons Aura has so far proved expensive to follow, but her previous conqueror has subsequently gone on to win again, so a 1lb rise could prove lenient. The rest of the field appear to be in the grip of the handicapper, but Tazaman should appreciate the return to all-weather.

PLAY SMARTER GORDONS AURA still hasn’t looked the finished article in handicaps but Sir Mark Prescott’s gelding should prove up to winning from this sort of mark and is fancied to open his account here. Charlie Arthur and the 4-timer seeking Schwartz are also players.
