CUBAN HEEL sets the standard with a handicap rating of 79 and that may prove a high enough level back in maiden company. Clive Cox’ charge has gone close over today’s trip the last twice now and is preferred to Kynance. The latter has placed in both starts to date and takes a further step up in distance while Sunday Prospect also attempts a longer trip on his belated reappearance having finished runner-up over 7f at Doncaster last year. Mukhaater has been absent from the track since finishing a modest fourth back in June and Awalii failed to show any progress here last month.
