Brandy Station is penalised for winning a handicap here last week and was earlier beaten by KYLLUKEY in one of these events. The latter can confirm running on more favourable terms today having also beaten Red Stripes last time. Cool Spirit has a bit to find with a couple of these while Andre Amar was still beaten a long way when runner-up at the track in February and De Latour remains a maiden after 19 starts.
