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.

PLAY SMARTER MICHAELS CHOICE hasn’t scored for over a year but he’s now 3lb below his last winning mark and looks ready to strike after a solid third at Wolverhampton. Dark Side Prince is an admirable sort and he won’t be far away. Golden Dragon makes some appeal returning to Stuart Williams too.
