Verdict

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for CUBAN GREY who can bag another C&D success on the back of his good recent Down Royal second when his jockey put up 1 lb overweight. Fellow C&D winner Havana Notion heads the list of dangers with Ginormous, She's Smart and Real Tin Fantasy also firmly in the picture.

  1. CUBAN GREY
  2. HAVANA NOTION
  3. GINORMOUS (IRE)
