Havana Goldrush made all at Windsor last time and Hi Clare made every yard when successful at Pontefract. War Chant completed a double with a recent victory at Wetherby and forced the pace on both occasions but the above trio may well set the race up nicely for one of the less exposed types. Of the latter group, NATZOR made a promising handicap debut when runner-up at Newbury and makes more appeal than Adwan and stablemate Palamon.
