Wetherby Race 2 - Hold Your Next Event Here Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CITY OF POETS (1) scored by a comfortable 4.5L margin over 1400m at Lingfield AW and is selected to maintain upward trajectory. FAN CLUB (4) performed creditably resuming in a 1600m contest at Haydock Park finishing fifth. Warrants serious consideration. ZIGGY'S ANGEL (9) is a three-year-old gelding facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family by Dark Angel from Siendra. Profiles well. GENTLE TOUCH (11) can fill fourth spot.

Third race start. Promising on debut 4th of 16 at Doncaster on October 25 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Music Of Time carrying 60.5kg at $10. Went for a break before returning 5th of 7 at Haydock Park on May 30 over 1600m, 14 len behind Love Beach carrying 59kg at $6. Strips fitter and should be right in the mix.

First-starter by Cityscape out of Oksana Astankova. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.
