CITY SELECTIONS A case can be made for plenty of these but preference is for ONE FOR THE FROG. The son of Dabirsim could benefit from a drop in trip having been headed inside the final furlong on his racecourse bow last month, but that was a pleasing debut nonetheless and he is entitled to improve for the experience. Colombidea has contested some tough races on turf recently and is feared most, ahead of Yakhabar.

PLAY SMARTER ONE FOR THE FROG produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Southwell 13 days ago and is selected to go one better with improvement on the cards. Colombidea ought to be more competitive dropping back in trip, while newcomer Bluebells Boy wouldn’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to make an impact.
