55,000gns yearling; Havana Grey half-brother to five winners; weak 9-1 shot at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last month but he ran well for a long way before finishing fourth behind an odds-on rival; was beaten 7l but he should benefit from that experience and is open to progress on his second start.

Faded over 5f here on handicap debut and final start for the Gosdens; ran well when a staying-on fourth on Lingfield AW (7f) in March on second start for this yard but dropped right out at Leicester since (also 7f; hood refitted, now discarded); suspicion for now that the AW may suit best.

0-6 but he's reached the frame in two handicaps for his current yard and was beaten less than 2l at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month; hasn't looked entirely straightforward but he didn't get the best of runs last time and he's in the mix back on turf; hood reapplied

Ex-Ed Walker; couldn't cling on when third on stable debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) 17 days ago, with Carnation Queen fifth; a hood is now applied, presumably to curb a free-going nature; Harriet Bethell has been among the winners in recent weeks.
