None of these inspire confidence but HAVANA RIVER finally opened her account with a victory at Uttoxeter on her debut for a new yard and gets a tentative vote. Rectory Oak won at Wincanton in March but disappointed on his first start for the Tizzard yard while Hoot At Midnight won here in November and should be sharper for a recent comeback run. Belle Jour and Good Man Vinnie slide further down the weights.
