CITY SELECTIONS Oj Lifestyle sprang a big surprise when winning at Newbury two starts ago and although disappointing slightly at Ascot since, he must enter calculations with his sights lowered. However, in receipt of 7lb, HIGHER LAW is fancied to step forward from his opening third at Kempton and land the spoils. Kitaro Kich also drops in grade and shouldn’t be too far away.

PLAY SMARTER HIGHER LAW made plenty of appeal on paper and showed clear ability when third at Kempton last month, so he can build on that effort to open his account at the second time of asking. Oj Lifestyle could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Kitaro Kich the pick of the remainder.
