CITY SELECTIONS The Roger Varian-trained MONTATHER has yet to fully deliver on some of his early promise but his return to this track is a positive as he has registered wins on both of his starts here, while the drop back to a mile also looks a sensible move judging on recent efforts. Piece Of History looks a worthy rival after suffering an interrupted passage at Haydock on his latest start. Far Hope posted arguably a career-best effort when finishing a close third at Thirsk last time and is also respected. MONTATHER
