CITY SELECTIONS Resilient Power got up late at Wolverhampton last month and seems to have improved for being gelded, so he could go well off 4lb higher in the handicap, but a chance is taken on IMPULSIVE LADY. The daughter of Frankel sports a first-time hood, which may help her last home if she makes the running as she did when fourth at Southwell. Blueflagflyinghigh has been gelded since his last run and is well worth a market check as well.

IMPULSIVE LADY Resilient Power
