Course and distance form is in short supply but MIDNIGHT IN HAVANA returns to the Fibresand for the first time since placing over track and trip in January off a 6lb higher mark and gets a token vote. Velvet Vista was well beaten here last month though found only one too good at Chelmsford recently while Enzo gets additional headgear as he drops back down in trip. Bold Decision never threatened when third over 6f at the track earlier and Three Card Trick slides further down the weights having only won a novices race in 17 starts.
