Verdict

UBATUBA seemed to relish the emphasis on stamina when forging clear for a wide-margin success on his hurdling debut over C&D early last month and, with conditions set to be similarly testing, he's fancied to defy a penalty at the first time of asking. Starzand is a promising rival and is sure to pose a big threat if coping with the quick turnaround, while Skuna Bay warrants respect back over the smaller obstacles, too.
