BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS WINKLEVI was said to have benefitted from the application of a first-time visor (retained) when making all over C&D earlier this month. David Evans’ eight-year-old might dictate matters again and that could see the gelded son of Maxios repeat the dose. Estrela Star recorded a narrow success over 1m6f last month and, with the step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience him, he demands respect. Bascinet boasts a largely consistent profile and he’s another to consider.

PLAY SMARTER A race featuring a handful of in-form types, with WINKLEVI fancied to follow up last week’s C&D success. It’s easy enough to see David Evans’ gelding getting an easy enough lead here once again, and that could swing the balance in his favour ahead of the interesting Got Bright, who ran his best race in this country last time. Estrela Star is preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Bascinet for third.
