BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS LADY LOULOU is the only one with a previous run over this trip and the daughter of Dark Angel, a €340,000 purchase, can use that experience to her advantage. She’s shaped with promise so far and the fitting of cheekpieces can help. Special Forces has to concede weight but is respected nonetheless, despite needing to overcome a 151-day absence. Regal Rambler and Polemon are others to note.

PLAY SMARTER SPECIAL FORCES looked a good prospect when mastering a dual subsequent scorer on debut at Wolverhampton last summer and, with progress anticipated, James Tate’s 4-y-o is fancied to make a bold bid to make it 2-2 with the step up in trip expected to suit. Lady Loulou and Casa Luna may emerge as the chief threats.
