An uninspiring contest in which few appeal. El Libertador will be popular as he's only a couple of pounds higher than when second to Rodrigo De Freitas over 1m4f here last month while dual bumper winner Maggie Aron is lightly raced on the Flat, though was still beaten 17 lengths when third at Chepstow last time and Tim Vaughan also runs the first-time visored Perfect Buttons. We'll take a chance on CUBISM, who is still a maiden on the level but has won three times over hurdles and should be approaching peak fitness now after a couple of recent runs.
