Highly Spoken to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. KING'S DRAMA (6) has threatened his last two at Ascot in stronger. Maps well, and he gives every impression the longer sprint will suit. The one to beat. PEANUT BUTTER (7) won a trial and then started a short-priced favourite here on debut, narrowly beaten. He will have taken fitness and learning, and the extra 200m should hold no fears. ETERNAL ROMANCE (11) resumes with the gun hoop booked. She's trialled well, and she will be naturally improved. She's shown enough to keep safe. SATIN BOW (10) is third up and has more up the sleeve. Jumps form the inside gate, and the 3kg claim is handy. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with King's Drama.
