True Belief has placed in all six outings on the all-weather since winning a maiden here in October and is 10lb higher. Gold At Midnight moves in the opposite direction and slides further down the weights while Momtathil and Fashionesque are less exposed than the likes of King Crimson and Firenze Rosa. Spring Romance is back on a winning mark but ENGLISHMAN had discovered a new lease of life this year winning four of his last six starts including at Newmarket a couple of days ago and Milton Bradley’s veteran is taken to defy a 4lb penalty.
