66/1
Royal Ascot winner for previous stable in 2022. Switched yards (left Charlie Appleby for 130,000 gns) returned from over 2 years off for handicap bow when last of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago, too free and finished weakly. Others more likely on this occasion.

10/1
On a roll winter of 2023/204, producing a smart handicap performance to make it 4 wins in a row (one over C&D). Struggled up in class when last seen and bit to prove on reappearance.

Very progressive for the Michael Appleby yard, landed second leg of a double (first came over C&D) when authoritative winner at Wolverhampton last month and he may well have more to offer.

10/3
Three wins from 8 runs last year. 9/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 83 days ago, deserving extra credit having been caught wide. Returns from 83-day break and has an excellent record when fresh. One for the shortlist.

Returned from 9 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (150/1) at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago and questions to answer on the back of that display.

11/2
Excuses last time, turned out quickly and under a penalty when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Newcastle, having raced too keenly under an inexperienced jockey. This test should suit him better. Each-way claims.

Course winner. Followed a promising effort on the AW with a below-par one when 22/1, last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 44 days ago. More needed.

Fairly consistent sort who landed two wins from 5 runs last year. Last seen finishing fourth of 8 to Royal Zabeel in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time but others have stronger claims.

Has gone well fresh in the past and fared much better than her last few starts in 2024 returning from a 6-month break when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (8f) albeit with the benefit of an easy lead. Conditions of the race might be less favourable today.

13/2
Produced a big effort after 7 months off when second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 in December headed final 50 yds having pulled hard. Improved when settling better to score decisively over C&D 30 days ago. Race should be run to suit and rates a leading contender.

Forecasts

Royal Zabeel (13/8), Yorkshire (10/3), Apiarist (11/2), Our Havana (13/2), Doctor Khan Junior (10/1), Nikovo (14/1), Blue Prince (16/1), Havanagreattime (16/1), Farasi Lane (22/1), Liamarty Dreams (40/1), Noble Truth (66/1), Gweedore (125/1)

Verdict

There's every chance they go a good gallop here and that should play to the strengths of the strong-travelling OUR HAVANA who scored when settling better last time and remains unexposed under these conditions. A well-run 7f might also suit Apiarist who was too keen to do himself justice at Newcastle 4 weeks ago, while the manner of Royal Zabeel's recent victory entitles him to plenty of respect in his bid for a hat-trick.
