CITY SELECTIONS Saeed bin Suroor continues to have his string in fine order at present and that run may continue here courtesy of OPEN MIND, who can turn the tables with Bear Profit. He was slowly away on that occasion and is now 6lb better off with that same rival for a three-length defeat last month. Meishar has some smart Irish form in the book and is interesting making his first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam.

PLAY SMARTER With BADRI’s latest effort at Newcastle easily excused (going well when no room from 2f out), Ruth Carr’s charge is fancied to resume his progress and notch a third win in his last 5 outings. Quest For Fun is another whose last couple of efforts can have a line put through them so he may emerge as the main danger, while Meishar is an interesting runner on first outing for new connections.
