CITY SELECTIONS REVOLUTIONISE impressed when scoring for the first time since February 2021 at Wolverhampton last month and he must hold every chance of following up off a mark 12lb lower than his career-high. Excel Power was always in control when winning over further here last week and the drop in trip should not inconvenience him as he looks to notch a ninth career success. The well-handicapped Tiger Crusade is not to be underestimated either.

DECLARED RUNNERS 6 2021: INTERNATIONALANGEL (IRE) 4 9 3 Richard Kingscote 8-11 (Jane Chapple-Hyam) 4 ran Tongue Strap worn by No. 2, 5, 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 5. Stewards Note: TIGER CRUSADE: Following its run on 9/11/2022 it was reported that the horse was slowly away.

PLAY SMARTER REVOLUTIONISE benefited from a return to AW when readily landing a 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton last time and remains feasibly treated, so he takes narrow preference over Excel Power, who is two from his last three and should go well again under another positive ride. Tiger Crusade is the pick of the remainder but the race might not be run to suit.
