      Verdict

      CUBA RUBA had been sending out signals that a victory was imminent and he was well supported over the course and distance last week where he just had the edge over Three Castles with Magrevio close up third. The trio are closely matched again but the winner kept pulling out more and can confirm the form. Iron Mike is tried in blinkers having failed to reach a place in seven starts though he wasn't beaten far in a better race at Carlisle last time. Lizzie Loch has had a break since her shock victory at Ayr but the assessor has been kind with just a 1lb rise. Fantastic Ms Fox gained her only victory over 1m6f and that looks her trip.
