CITY SELECTIONS A comfortable winner over C&D last week, G’DAAY looks more than capable of following up off a 5lb higher mark. Joseph Parr’s charge goes particularly well around here and he gets the vote ahead of Jilly Cooper, who dead-heated for major honours at Wolverhampton last month. War In Heaven is entitled to come on for his first run for new connections in September, while Spacer is another with the form to get involved.

PLAY SMARTER Cases can be made for a few of these but the most persuasive is for recent C&D winner G’DAAY. Joseph Parr’s charge is still progressing gradually, so he’s fancied to notch his fourth success of the season. Second choice is Jilly Cooper, who stayed on well to grab a share of the spoils at Wolverhampton last month, with Castana Dia third on the list.
