DASH OF SPICE and Ajman King meet over course and distance for the second time here and it's the former who is taken to reverse the form with a useful swing in the weights here. Andrew Balding won this last year with a four-year-old and Contango gives him claims of winning back-to-back renewals given his unexposed profile.
