Verdict

A number arrive with claims, including progressive HAVANA BLUE. Clive Cox's 3-y-o posted a career-best effort when doubling his tally over 7f here 3 weeks ago and, totally unexposed at 1m, he could well be up to completing the hat-trick. Dutch Decoy is knocking firmly on the door and he's feared, along with Saxon King and Indemnify.

  1. HAVANA BLUE
  2. DUTCH DECOY
  3. SAXON KING
