HAVANA PARTY won this last year and will be racing from the same mark with his penalty for Monday's Ayr victory factored in. He can go in again though Shine On Brendan and Shahnaz have both won twice around here. The former is better with some ease in the ground but the latter will like the conditions and has dropped to a winnable mark. Ravenglass is another racing on his favoured fast ground and takes a big drop in class from his last run on this track.
