Excel's Beauty showed blinding speed in this grade at Newbury last time and was only caught close home. A repeat performance would make her hard to beat but HOT STREAK looked a smart prospect when making his debut over 6f here four weeks ago and can handle the drop in distance. The second and third have both franked the form of his victory since and he's one of a number of excellent chances today for Jamie Spencer. Outer Space also won on his debut and is open to plenty of improvement while Salford Red Devil will appreciate the drop back to 5f. Disko did better than expected upped in grade at Newmarket last time and is preferred to Mecca's Angel of the others.
