Cuban Beat has switched yards since winning at Kempton in December while Fresh Fancy made a winning debut at the same track in September and both step up in trip carrying a penalty. The other two with experience make no appeal but the American-bred QABILAH cost $180,000 as a half-sister to Grade 3 winners on Turf and Roger Varian’s newcomer gets the vote with her yard back among the winners.
