      Verdict

      Dance Havana made all at Yarmouth though just held on from the re-opposing Havanazam and the latter can reverse running on these more favourable terms. Artisand showed some promise when fourth at Brighton and Lordship is a likely improver for the Haggas yard but SILK BIRD looks the one to side with. The latter was only beaten a short-head by Cite d’Or, rated 83, at Beverley last time so can go one better in this.
