Cuban Grey (7/4), Realtin Fantasy (7/2), Ginormous (9/2), Havana Notion (17/2), Babyface (9/1), She's Smart (16/1), Theriverrunsdeep (20/1), Charles Atlas (22/1), I'm Spartacus (25/1), Cross Border (33/1), Freedom Ring (100/1)

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for CUBAN GREY who can bag another C&D success on the back of his good recent Down Royal second when his jockey put up 1 lb overweight. Fellow C&D winner Havana Notion heads the list of dangers with Ginormous, She's Smart and Real Tin Fantasy also firmly in the picture.
