CITY SELECTIONS THE CHARMER has seemingly improved for the step up to 7f and though the gelding ran creditably at Brighton on his latest outing, the return to a synthetic surface could see him to greater effect. Mike Murphy’s charge is berthed nicely in stall two and he can repel the challenge of Lethal Angel, who may find improvement in a first-time visor. Richard Hughes employs the services of William Buick on Villalobos, which may be an indicator of his chances.

PLAY SMARTER A decidedly trappy contest with the tentative vote in favour of CAPE CORNWALL ROSE. She’s yet to kick on in handicaps over 6f having shown some promise in novice events but this ease in grade should help and she remains low-mileage. The Charmer, Embla, Kelapa and Luscifer head up an exhaustive shortlist of threats.
