Verdict
HAVANA BLUE can make it third-time lucky after a narrow defeat in better company at Salisbury just over three weeks ago when Come Together showed promise despite running green. Satirical looks a danger having been beaten only a head on debut at Haydock while Legend Of Leros and Maltese Falcon are likely improvers. Florida was a 180,000gns yearling and is a half-brother to several winners but Inspiritus will probably need further than this, along with Hosanna Power. Overrule is a half-brother to three winners and worth a second look but Ezaj’s future probably lies in handicaps.
