CITY SELECTIONS DARK SIDE PRINCE was a game winner at Wolverhampton last month and the form of that race has been franked with both the third and fourth going in since. Jessica Macey’s gelding was a winner over C&D back in May, and he is taken to strike again. Recent Kempton scorer Lothian may have his work cut out overcoming a 9lb rise, as well as upholding form with course specialist La Roca Del Fuego. Michaels Choice and Show Me A Sunset could also have a say. DARK SIDE PRINCE
