Sunday selections
CITY OF DELIGHT - 4.15 Doncaster (NAP)
Top-weight Stressfree finished in front of CITY OF DELIGHT here in November and may have gone close to winning with the rub of the green; he is fit from hurdling and has obvious claims but the ground may be quicker than he prefers. Quicker conditions are no concern to City Of Delight who progressed rapidly last season, winning four on the bounce, and he should have more to offer this season with the handicapper not overreacting to his defeat of Hot Fuss. Harry Davies rides for the first time but has a tidy record for a stable whose runners seem well primed for this meeting.
LIGHT N STRIKE - 3.20 Ascot
In three starts in 2024/'25, LIGHT N STRIKE has pulled up twice and finished last so you may well wonder what the angle is but those three runs all came on soft ground. In 24 career starts, he's run once on heavy (unplaced) and four times on good-to-soft (a second and three thirds) and his other outings - and five victories - have come under quicker conditions. Light N Strike simply doesn't act on soft but those runs have seen his mark for both codes drop by 5lbs and he's now on the same rating as when winning at Warwick in May 2023 (he was second off 9lbs higher next time). It's possible the wheels have come off but this is the first time he has his conditions to prove otherwise and with his yard in good form, Light N Strike is worth the benefit of the doubt at the prices.
