It could pay to stick with the ones with a recent under their belts and SUMMERINTHECITY makes most appeal on that score. He went close when runner-up to Tartiflette in much better company at Haydock last Saturday and Dandy Nicholls' charge can land this with a similar effort. That form looks superior to Showboating's recent second over a longer trip at Yarmouth while Silverware was still beaten nearly three lengths when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week. Diman Waters ended last season with a win on the Polytrack and steps up in distance on his return but Mont Ras is dropped in class for his reappearance and may get involved.
