Verdict

The opener can go the way of MINSTER MAN, who learnt plenty from his first outing when making all in good style at Musselburgh earlier this month. Crazee In Havana was much improved from his debut when going well for a long way at Sandown and could be the biggest threat, ahead of last-time-out winner Roxa Love.
