City Selections

Well Prepared has more on his plate now shouldering a 5lb penalty after recently winning a similar contest at Wolverhampton, and he may prove worth taking on. MISS SLIGO shaped better than the bare form when attempting to make all over 1m4f last week and, having run well over C&D last month, she gets the vote now dropped to 1m2f. Arpina wasn’t disgraced on her first attempt over this distance when last seen finishing fifth at Lingfield.

Leading course trainer (17-22): M Appleby (75 wins from 627 runners, 12%) runs ALL ABOARD

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): D M Loughnane (8 wins from 23 runners, 35%) runs WELL PREPARED

Longest Traveller: LETTER OF THE LAW trained by J G O’Shea, Newnham-on-Severn, 166 miles.

PLAY SMARTER

MISS SLIGO was disappointing at Wolverhampton last week but she has a fair strike rate for this level and she’s just about the most persuasive option. Arpina and Well Prepared are feared most.
