CITY SELECTIONS IRISH TIMES has won five races here, the latest over this distance in July off a mark just 3lb lower. He ran on well to be beaten a head here in September and looks to have a solid chance of going one better today. Rockesbury was left with too much to do over shorter here last month but could do better now, while Bernard Spierpoint is another who needs to be kept nearer to the early pace.
