Spangled Mac is penalised for winning over a slightly longer trip here while ROYAL ACLAIM won at Newcastle over a year ago. The latter beat several subsequent winners on that occasion including Middle Park victor Perfect Power and entries in upcoming Group 1 sprints suggest James Tate’s filly has shown plenty at home leading up to this belated reappearance. Frisky has a shout on recent placed efforts while Pepsi Cat drops down in trip having finished runner-up at Redcar in both outings so far.
