CITY SELECTIONS With the McEntee team firing in plenty of winners, it may be best to side with BOBBY ON THE BEAT, who carries a 5lb penalty after winning over this trip at Lingfield when getting up close home. Expert Opinion is another to consider with the return to six furlongs possibly in his favour, along with a drop in class, though stablemate Jupiter Express could be the better of the Michael Appleby pair, after being sent off favourite last time out.
