Verdict
Spanish Mane has won twice this year but a further 6lb rise means she is probably high enough in the weights now. Grandstand needs forgiving a shocking effort here last time while Peachey Carnehan blows hot and cold, though won this last year when a pound lower. Bold Decision’s best runs on Turf have come over 6f but Bullington Boy could figure eased in grade. DREAMBOAT ANNIE likes it here and arrives off the back of an impressive victory at Lingfield. She was raised 6lb for that but her apprentice rider claims back all of that and more.
