The newcomer Selection is a half-brother to a couple of winners and could go well on his racecourse debut, though will need to be above average to get the better of LORD OF THE NORTH. Rated 79, Gay Kelleway’s charge finished a close-up third at Newmarket a week ago and should have the measure of Alfahad. The latter finished a modest sixth over 1m2f back in May while Enmeshing was well beaten when dropped back to today’s trip on his latest start. Three Times A Lord posted a better effort at Haydock back in June and may prove best of the rest.
