CITY SELECTIONS DORS TOYBOY has been on the go a long time but it shows no signs of catching up with him and he could easily be arriving on a C&D four-timer, with a couple of narrow defeats sandwiching a success. Charlie Bennett seems to get the best out of Dean Ivory’s grey and he is preferred to Prince Of Flight, who took a step in the right direction when a staying-on second over 6f here. Nat Love and Baileys Liberty are considered too.
