    Verdict

    CUBAN DANCER is upped in class carrying 6lb extra but Mark Johnston’s charge won with plenty to spare at Newmarket last week and there looks more to come on the fast ground. Crown Princess and Commonsensical where less impressive winners on their respective latest starts with the former scoring over track and trip and the latter winning by a neck at Bath. Zihaam drops back down in distance hoping for a return to form having won six times at the track in the past.
