City Selections

Grey Gray has to be respected following her Musselburgh victory on Friday but a 6lb penalty for that success will make her life tougher With that in mind, preference is for HAPPY TEARS, who has shown plenty of promise in maiden company and an opening mark of 72 may underestimate the daughter of Dandy Man. The rest all have claims but Desert Master is arguably the pick of them.

PLAY SMARTER

GREY GRAY resumed progress returned to this trip when always doing enough at Musselburgh on Friday and she looks capable of defying a penalty. Desert Master shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on her nursery bow at Yarmouth so may emerge as the biggest threat now switched to AW.
