CITY SELECTIONS On his first run for George Boughey, MOTAZZEN travelled well for a long way when fourth at Sandown last week and, with that run under his belt, the unexposed gelding gets the vote on his all-weather debut. Mark Of Respect produced a career-best effort when scoring at Bath last time and is feared, while recent Lingfield winner Cu Chulainn can also make an impact.
