A winner at Wolverhampton three runs ago, CUBAN BREEZE was only beaten a neck off today’s mark in soft going at Catterick last time. She’s due to be raised 4lb after this and can confirm latest running with Maytan. Avior Star finished in front of previous winner The Queens Ladies when third at Musselburgh but today’s going is a worry for both him and Nottingham runner-up Prospect, who makes his handicap debut along with Miss Nay Never. Holbache was raised 10lb for winning a nursery at Chepstow and failed to figure on his latest start.
