BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
CITY SELECTIONS First-time cheekpieces could see CHAGALL build on a creditable fourth at Lingfield last month and he must have a good chance switching to classified stakes company. He has won and finished second on his only two previous course starts and makes a good bit of appeal, while the booking of Luke Morris for Hachert also catches the eye. Eagle Path completes the shortlist for a shrewd stable.

PLAY SMARTER CHAGALL scored over 1m here in November and ran respectably last time, so shouldn’t need to improve to score on these terms. Hachert is a tricky sort but ran well on his latest outing and should be in the mix if in the same form, with Fact Or Fable making most appeal of the remainder.
