HAVANA STAR was runner-up to She’s Different off a higher mark at Hamilton last year and a good run from the latter in the previous race would boost confidence in Kevin Ryan’s charge. Biddy Brady won a novices’ event in soft ground at Catterick in October and is another to consider on her return while Fiery Breath scored over 7f on the all-weather in January but is 4lb higher today. Moonlit Sands has bits of form last season that give her a shout with Tember and Spanish Mane others to keep an eye on.
