Verdict
It was soft going when Hyperfocus won here last autumn and when Spoof finished third over the minimum trip at Windsor last time. Cuban Breeze is another upped in distance after winning here last month but Mighty Gurkha has yet to score on Turf. ABU MALEK (NAP) made a winning debut over today’s trip at Doncaster last season and was beaten only a neck carrying a penalty at the same track on his reappearance and debut for a new yard. He makes most appeal with improvement expected now handicapping.
