SPANISH MANE may have needed her reappearance run at Yarmouth last time and she won on her second start last year. She could well be up to repeating that today. Keeper's Choice is another mare that won on her second start last season and she should go close with a run under her belt. The King's Steed is an admirable veteran and he may play a part too.
