Verdict
CUBAN QUEEN was beaten less than a length when third over track and trip last month in one of these lowly Class 7 events. She may prove good enough and is taken to confirm running with Captain Kendall, Dalness Express, Chandrayaan and Welsh Inlet. The last-named has since finished a lot closer at Lingfield while Lutine Charlie posted a better effort when second over a mile at Wolverhampton last week. Pleadings was placed over 6f on his latest start and steps back up in distance today.
