Spes Nostra had slipped down the weights before winning at Newcastle so a 6lb penalty may not prove too much of an imposition. Bit Of A Quirke beat Strummer a neck with Arithmetic further behind when scoring at Beverely and is upped 4lb but ROYAL REGENT can race off the same mark as when runner-up over course and distance last month. He finished ahead Eez Eh on that occasion and is taken to confirm running in the process of going one better.
