HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 4) for

CITY SELECTIONS

Maysong has been threatening to win a race of this nature of late, but he often finds himself with too much to do. With this in mind, a chance is taken on BARGING THRU, who was last seen running one of his better races when fourth at Wolverhampton and he now races off the same mark as when winning at that same venue in May. Secret Strength arrives in better form than most and completes the shortlist.

PLAY SMARTER

SECRET STRENGTH returned to his best when scoring at Lingfield last month and would have benefited from a stronger gallop when not beaten far at the same course next time, so he is taken to resume winning ways this time around. Toussarok can fare better with his reappearance behind him and is feared most, ahead of Maysong.
