CITY SELECTIONS Mister X has improved since entering the handicap ranks and warrants respect following a solid win and placed efforts at Brighton and Kempton respectively. However, MADE OF LIR has done it here, winning in comfortable fashion over C&D two starts ago, and she shades the verdict. The dropped-in-class Senor Pockets also brings winning course form to the table and is one to note, along with handicap debutant Albert Cee.

PLAY SMARTER Compensation awaits MISTER X, who went into many a notebook when a staying-on third on all-weather debut at Kempton just over a fortnight ago. Provided he encounters a smooth trip, Stuart Williams’ charge looks one to keep firmly on side. Senor Pockets was unable to land a blow in a valuable sales event last time but he’s feared most back in this grade, ahead of Made of Lir and Sassy Redhead.
