CITY SELECTIONS IGOTATEXT bumped into a useful rival when runner-up at Yarmouth on his penultimate start in May and, having looked in need of the run on his return at Salisbury last month, the three-year-old is tipped to notch up his third career win. Yimou didn’t get the clearest run when finishing second over course and distance on his latest outing and is feared, while the William Haggas-trained Maajdah may still have more to offer. IGOTATEXT
