Mrs Cube has to give weight away but is in form and is taken to complete a hat-trick at the expense of Jake Black and Red Delirium. Paul Howling's five-year-old has hit a rich vein of form lately, following up an effortless nine-length victory at Wolverhampton with another, if slightly more hard earned success at Colwick Park six days ago. With Robert Winston on board again, she should take the beating in a weak race. One of her main rivals will be Jake Black, a winner here in amateur company who lines up on the back of an outing over timber at Doncaster. His fitness will be a plus point, while Red Delirium, a former course and distance scorer, has been getting closer with each run. Gracious Air has shown enough to be included, and Printsmith is another that has visited the winner's enclosure here in the past. However, the recent form of Mrs Cube entitles her to start favourite and she should make a bold bid to land the hat-trick.
