CITY SELECTIONS TRUE STATESMAN finished a close-up third at Doncaster in April, a race from which the winner followed up and the fourth filled the runner-up berth in the Woodcote. Natural progression should make the son of Churchill tough to beat and he can strike, possibly at the main expense of Dhariye, who was well fancied at Windsor last month. Liberation Bay must enters calculations, though a step forward is required if she’s to trouble the judge.
