Cubomania has shown progressive form over jumps since joining Gordon Elliott and will prove a threat if transferring that form back over to this code. Guitar Pete is another with claims returning to the Flat while Las Tunas won over 1m7f on fast ground here back in June. Last Garrison scored over 1m4f at Hamilton more recently and Handsome Bob narrowly beat Pammi over track and trip last month but hasn’t figured in a couple of subsequent starts. Foresee’s earlier success at Epsom came on faster going but MOTAHASSEN won on soft ground at Hamilton last month and gets another chance having gone close again at Haydock last time in a tougher race than this.
