Havana Prince⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 71| CD

13/2

Won back-to-back C&D handicaps last summer and better than ever when adding to tally in 13-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 5/1) 52 days ago, staying on well. Can boast excellent strike rate and 4 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid.

Form: 141-501

Forecasts

Cosmos Raj (1/1), Clear Angel (7/2), Havana Prince (13/2), Mariner (13/2), Harswell Duke (12/1), Volenti (18/1)

COSMOS RAJ put 4 lengths between himself and the rest when second over 9.8f here 11 days ago and left on the same mark, he looks poised to go one place better. Havana Prince can boast a very good strike rate for one of his ability so he's feared most, ahead of Harswell Duke.
