Devil's Cub landed a Bath nursery on good to soft and was only caught close home from 5lb higher at Chepstow. However, Cuban Fox didn't get the best of runs in the former event and was only beaten a couple of lengths so can gain revenge on the revised terms. TWENTYSHARESOFGREY (NAP) has improved with every run and was an unlucky loser here a fortnight ago, staying on strongly after being impeded at a crucial stage. Harrier Hawk ran a bit better at Chelmsford and the longer trip will suit.
