CITY SELECTIONS Luna Queen would make more appeal at Lingfield and the Conrad Allen inmate may be worth taking on after a 3lb rise for her victory there. CIOTOG had been threatening a big performance prior to his win at Wolverhampton and with the useful Adam Farragher now claiming 5lb off his back, he gets the nod effectively running off the same mark. Roundabout Silver and Lelabad arrive in good form and warrant consideration as well.

PLAY SMARTER CIOTOG landed some tidy bets when shedding his maiden tag at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and, with that performance worth marking up a touch, Mark Loughnane’s charge is fancied to follow up with a talented 5-lb claimer wisely offsetting a rise in the weights. Luna Queen and Roundabout Silver both opened their accounts last time so they must be feared, although the main threat may emerge from Sicilian Veto.
