City Of Delight (9/4), Stressfree (10/3), Rathgar (9/2), Magico (5/1), King's Code (7/1), Warda Jamila (12/1), Sean (16/1)

CITY OF DELIGHT had a number of today's rivals behind when striking fast and late to make it 5 wins from his last 6 starts on return at Doncaster 23 days ago, overcoming a less-than-ideal passage in the process to win going away. He's not done improving yet on that evidence and earns the vote in the hope he's as effective at this track. Magico and Stressfree, who finished 2-4 respectively, rate next best, ahead of facile Pontefract scorer King's Code in a smashing contest.
