110,000gns yearling who has a smart pedigree and was runner-up at 7-1 on last month's debut over C&D; that was a promising start to his career and he's a leading candidate today.

Has made the frame at Newcastle (AW; behind Wiltshire) and Leicester since being gelded; good fourth in the Listed Carnarvon Stakes on this card last year; 0-3 on turf but has each-way claims.

J: Jason Watson

T: Andrew Balding

Completed an AW hat-trick when scoring on his handicap debut at Newcastle (6f) last April; held in six subsequent runs but he went close off this mark at Southwell in November and was a creditable third at Newcastle three weeks ago; now returns to turf but he ran well in a fast-ground Listed event last spring and he's still unexposed in this sphere; in the mix.

9st 3lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

He was completing a hat-trick when landing the 3yo sprint on this card 12 months ago, a race where he enjoyed a clear run while several in behind met trouble; he hasn't looked ahead of the handicapper in three runs this winter but likely this has been the main target and he has been gelded since his latest run.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten last May/June on his first two starts and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, gelded since last seen and that may help him tap into the potential in his pedigree; not discounted.

Havana Joy

9st 9lb

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Charles Hills

Unraced at two; yet to score but she was placed in her first five starts (6f/7f, AW) last year; 196-day break preceded a poor effort in November, however, and wind surgery hasn't improved matters judged on two runs this year; tongue-tie and blinkers thrown into the mixer and she's dangerously handicapped if rediscovering her mojo on this turf debut.

In the frame in her first five starts (high 60's RPR's), including when twice finding one stronger here (6f-7f); has failed to beat a single rival the last twice (either side of wind surgery) so she has a bit to prove at present; easing mark.

Close third on debut at Windsor (5f, turf) last May then not disgraced in mid-division at Royal Ascot (5f); unable to reproduce that form at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in December on her first outing since but she may have needed the run and is not written off.
