CITY SELECTIONS Strong cases can be made for several of these, but REIGNING PROFIT responded favourably to being fitted with a first-time visor when romping home at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and is fancied to back that up with another win, despite being hit with a 9lb rise in the ratings. La Roca Del Fuego is a previous C&D winner and is dangerous to underestimate, while the consistent Cabeza De Llave is also considered.

PLAY SMARTER EXPERT OPINION hasn’t been with Mick Appleby long and on the back of a more encouraging effort over C&D a fortnight ago, he looks the way to go from a handy stall. Reigning Profit landed a few bets at Wolverhampton and is a danger, along with La Roca del Fuego.
