The reliable CUBAN CIGAR has had the form of his fourth in a C&D Class 2 on New Year's Day boosted a couple of times since and can deservedly get his head back in front now taking a drop in grade. Smart Lass won this race last year and could give his owner a 1-2. Zamond and Rewired complete the shortlist.
