CITY SELECTIONS It is hard to look past OTTOMAN PRINCE, who secured victory in good style on his debut over this course and distance last month. He has to shoulder a penalty for that success, but is fairly well related and it is likely there is more in his locker. Silky Smooth makes a lot of appeal on paper and looks bred to be better than the display he showed on his racecourse bow, while Gallimimus is another to consider. OTTOMAN PRINCE
