FormscanBy Tom Weekes - BIGCITYLIGHTS represents leading connections and finished fifth in a useful Tattersalls Farm point-to-point when last seen in December. He unseated rider on November debut but showed nice ability the following month, with each of the horses which defeated him showing up well subsequently, including the winner landing a subsequent bumper. On-course-trained Myleno has progressed with age and won two recent point-to-points. He easily won a winners' of three point-to-point just six days ago and while making a quick reappearance isn't ideal, is suited by good ground. Chef's Kiss won a coveted four-year-old point-to-point maiden in March but failed to sell at 28,000 pounds the following month and debuts for new connections in a first-time tongue-tie.
