Teruntum Star has won here and from the same mark and his latest run can be ignored. SPANISH CITY was running well throughout last season and though his best runs were over 7f he has enough speed to get to the front at this trip. He's given the nod in a very tricky handicap in which his stable companion Flavius Titus looks to be a threat. A winner on fast ground here in April, he was staying on when returning last month and can get into the frame while Embour is another with chances. Richard Hannon's charge bounced back to winning ways at this level at Newbury and though 4lb higher should still have more to offer. Wentworth Falls is hardly ever out of the frame but has never won at this level while Louie De Palma's Ascot victory at Ascot was in a Class 3 on soft ground.
