I am backing Cuban Grey here. You have to forgive him his latest run at Dundalk last Saturday but you can, he was wider than ideal from early, and he didn’t have a whole lot of racing room from a fair way out.
He is better judged on his run in the Rockingham on Irish Derby weekend, when he led for much of the race on the near side, keeping on after he was passed to take fifth place. He will appreciate the drop back down in grade here, and the handicapper has given him a big chance, dropping him to a mark of 74, which is just 4lb higher than the mark off which he was impressive in winning over today’s course and distance in April.
He has been better than ever this season, this is his grade, and ground on the easy side of good is ideal. Rory Mulligan has struck up a good relationship with him, he is good value for his 7lb claim.
CUBAN GREY WON (ADV 6/1, SP 8/1)
