In depth

Verdict

Nottingham winner Meng Tian failed to cope carrying a penalty back at the same track and SUPER CUB is preferred in this. Roger Varian’s colt went close at Brighton a week ago when finishing ahead of third-placed Buying Time and Chanteiro and is taken to confirm running in the process of going one better. Fair And Square disappointed last time having finished second at Windsor earlier but the likes of Princess Lavinia, Vertiginous, Kingboard Star and Dynamic Force can all boast several winning relatives and are newcomers to note.
