Real Terms went close at Newcastle at the end of last year but is conceding weight to the younger horses in this including the more exposed Olympic Theatre and Fibresand runner-up Dabirstar. The latter steps up from 6f on her first start since December but ELEVEN ELEVEN debuted over track and trip last month. The latter faded away at the business end having ran fresh in the closing stages but should figure if settling better today and is preferred to Secret Glow, who never threatened at Lingfield on his introduction.
