Spanish Star gained his first victory in 17 starts in a minor handicap over the minimum at Bath and is up 6lb. REAL ESTATE gained his first success on Turf over this trip at Windsor under Cieren Fallon and, as he's only been raised 1lb, he should take all the beating. Hic Bibi is on a hat-trick after victories at Chelmsford and Wetherby, the latest in such convincing fashion that she's been raised 9lb. Born To Finish has had plenty of success in his career and though better on the all-weather reverts to Turf on a 9lb lower mark. Tom Greatrex is one of the more experienced pilots here and his mount Atalanta's Boy has been running better than form figures suggest.
