CITY SELECTIONS The value may lie with KARIBANA, who has never been outside the first three in five starts at the track and his most recent effort here gave the impression he would relish the return to a mile. Bashosh has yet to match the early promise he showed as a three-year-old, while Power Of States may not need to improve much on a strong runner-up effort here last week. Fox Champion is another to note on his return.

B Godolphin TIMEFORMVIEW Lightly-raced winner. Beaten at short odds all 3 starts in handicaps, looking unsuited by drop back to this trip when fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/10), on final start last year. Off 6 months. Interesting that he stays at a mile on return. TFRHHHHI BHA89 6 KARIBANA (IRE) (9) 2-50062 C BF 5 9-3 (6)

PLAY SMARTER KARIBANA has a good record at Chelmsford and can take advantage of a handy mark here. Power of States ran well behind a less-exposed rival last time and can give another good account, whilst it’s intriguing that the potentially well-handicapped Bashosh has another try over a mile.
