    Verdict

    Hotalena has won two of his last three outings and beat Rockett Man when scoring at Windsor last time. Atiyah went close at Ripon recently while Red Walls scored over track and trip before beaten at Chelmsford. Cuban Breeze is back on the same mark as when scoring here last year but a chance is taken on ROMAN ENCOUNTER. The latter has undergone wind surgery since struggling in a higher grade sprint last time and Kevin Ryan’s filly can figure at this level judged on an earlier third on the Tapeta.
