Forecasts

Where's Jeff (7/2), At Liberty (9/2), Dandy's Angel (11/2), Havana Party (11/2), Berry Edge (7/1), Langton Wold (9/1), Masque Of Anarchy (10/1), Sagauteur (10/1), Outsmart (11/1), Willard Creek (12/1), Danielsflyer (33/1)

Having got off the mark for the campaign at Ayr in June, HAVANA PARTY confirmed he's in excellent nick when third at Hamilton later that month. Back from a break and on the same mark, he looks the way to go, with Where's Jeff and Sagauteur a couple of potential threats.
