Cuban Hope won a lower grade contest here in first-time cheekpieces though the runner-up Batocchi was hampered. Greengage disappointed over track and trip when dropped in class and preference is for DREAMS UNWIND. The latter has shown good progress this year winning four times so far and Mark Johnston’s filly went close on her only previous outing on the all-weather. Buxted Too has a shout at the weights though has something to prove over this far.
