CITY OF GOD was green on debut but shaped encouragingly when fourth in a Wolverhampton novice 3 weeks ago, finishing well, and he can build on that effort to open his account. War Hawk has also looked in need of the experience in his 2 starts so far and is respected given the promise he showed first-time up, while newcomer Express Train is one to note.
