Spanish City²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 95| D

7/4

Failed to go the pace in the Stewards Cup but he has run well in some big handicaps over today's trip. His fourth in the Bunbury Cup reads well, as does his record of two wins and a close second on his last three starts in similar grade.

Form: 6-25340

Love Dreams^p²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: R L Moore| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94| D

5/2

Has won on soft but ideally suited to today's expected faster conditions. Has slipped below his last winning mark and the jockey booking adds to the appeal. One to note if supported.

Light And Dark²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 93| BF| D

13/8

Took advantage of a kind opening mark to score on his handicap debut and the assessor exacted his revenge at Goodwood. Races off the same mark here against streetwise rivals so clearly has something to prove.

Form: 43-310

Haddaf^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 80

11/1

Listed winner in June last year and has got himself down to a workable handicap mark having not won since. Signs last time that he was approaching a mark he can win from, therefore another 2lb drop offers some hope.

Forecasts

Light And Dark (13/8), Spanish City (7/4), Love Dreams (5/2), Reeves (6/1), Sanaadh (7/1), Haddaf (11/1)

SPANISH CITY has often promised more than he has delivered, but there is no knocking his recent record when dropping to this level and his rivals all have something to prove. Love Dreams looks enticing with Ryan Moore on board and conditions forecast to be fast, whilst Haddaf appeared to be reacting positively to a change of scenery last time. Light And Dark has something to prove after Goodwood, whilst Sanaadh and Reeves both need to improve on their current form.
