CITY SELECTIONS The in-form Measured Moments should make a bold bid for the hat-trick, but the longer trip and a 6lb higher mark could leave her vulnerable. Therefore, preference is for KARDINYA, who was a good second over C&D earlier this month before another game effort over 1m at Southwell on Tuesday. He remains on the same mark and another big run can be expected. City Escape completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER MEASURED MOMENTS has looked progressive all of a sudden and, if she gets this longer trip, she should take the beating. City Escape got up with something to spare at Wolverhampton last time, so she’s respected, while there’s also a good case to be made for Engrave.
