CUBAN BREEZE joined David Evans back in February and has won five times since. This is easier than her latest task at York and Frankie gets the leg-up. Mattice won one of these events at Doncaster three weeks ago, with Sir Henry Cotton behind, while Stone Circle has been in good form in lower grade contests and won at Yarmouth last time. Never Dark has slipped down the weights and posted a better effort at Carlisle recently.
