Cool Spice confirmed the merit of recent placed efforts when comfortable winner over course and distance earlier in the month and should make another bold bid despite 4lb subsequent rise. Flying Romance is not the easiest to predict but is still fairly treated on Windsor success last month and also ran well here when second in similar company two weeks later (now 2lb lower). Winning hurdler Caballe has fitness on his side and has claims on the pick of last year's form but Dubai Seven Stars was below par on return to the Flat after winning twice over timber during the winter. Ex-French mare Water Sports is lightly raced and should be noted in betting exchanges on debut for shrewd stable with top jock booked.
