FormscanBy Donal Murphy - CUBAN GREY has been a model of consistency in recent months and looks the safest option in this open contest. No worse than fourth on his last five starts, the 59-rated grey was successful over the course and distance in May and went down by just a neck when last seen at Down Royal. Havana Notion (won this race last year) and Realtin Fantasy dead-heated for third when half-a-length behind the selection at the Northern Ireland venue, and it'll come as no surprise if either manage to reverse the form. Ginormous hit the crossbar at Naas last week and will be well-fancied to go a place better, while Babyface (first time hood), who was fifth in that Naas heat, is another capable of making his presence felt. Adrian McGuinness is represented by I'm Spartacus and She's Smart and they both look to have solid claims.
