Verdict
Spanish Mane will be fancied to follow up a victory over a mile here two weeks ago, when Sly Madam was behind, with Rose Dawes taking off 7lb again but EASTERN STAR has been threatening to get his head back in front and a return to the Turf is overdue. Soyounique boast solid all-weather form but has not managed to place on this surface in four previous attempts. Pontius has been lightly raced so has more scope than most.
