Verdict
CUBOMANIA (NAP) made a successful debut for Gordon Elliott on heavy going at Down Royal and defied a 7lb rise at Tramore. He's up another 9lb here but there should be another race in him from this sort of mark and a hat-trick beckons. His stable also run Azua Emery, who makes her handicap debut. She disappointed at Punchestown after showing real promise earlier but could well be well in on a mark of 107. Urbanist looks a major threat as though he was 7l behind the selection at Down Royal he's 8lb better off and has since landed a touch at Punchestown where he had plenty in hand. Brosna George has run quite well at Fairyhouse in his last two starts though will need a bit more here.
