Fields Of Athenry won at Wolverhampton recently and has been raised 7lb while GENTLE LOOK has gone up a further 6lb after completing a double with a victory at Doncaster. But the Godolphin colt returned a clear winner on that occasion with a subsequent winner back in second and can continue his good progress. Spirit Warning has been thereabouts on Turf lately while San Carlos has won a couple of novice events over 7f at the track and makes his handicap debut. Woven and Fintas were both competing at Meydan early in the year and return to action though the latter is a dual course winner and preferred.
