      Verdict

      CUBAN BREEZE has won two of her last three outings and scored easily at Wolverhampton last time. She can defy a rise in the weights with William Buick on board. Expert Opinion went close over 6f here having earlier finished behind third-placed Dark Side Prince at Wolverhampton but Atiyah still looks in the handicapper's grip. La Roca Del Fuego may prove best of the rest.
