Verdict
HAVEN LADY won here in October and went close again when beaten only neck at Wolverhampton. She can confirm latest running with Hashtagmetoo and go one better. Habanero Star won over 1m3f here recently and there may be more to come over this longer trip while Defence Treaty scored over the same distance at the track earlier but is now 7lb higher.
