CITY SELECTIONS NINE TALES brings solid form to the table and it would be no surprise to see him go well on his return to action this evening. Larado is 2lb higher than when winning at Epsom in August and he too merits serious consideration. Lady Eros, who cost 345,000 dollars as a yearling, remains unexposed and is also highly interesting on her handicap bow, while Meng Tian completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER ALPHA CRU had the form of her latest C&D near miss boosted when the third went in at Wolverhampton on Monday and is taken to resume winning ways from a good draw in 3. The front-running Larado won at Epsom last time and is likely to give it another good shot from stall 2. Lady Eros won her sole AW start and is also respected as an unexposed type from a leading stable.
