Verdict

HAVANA BLAST showed the benefit of his reappearance run when beaten only by the odds-on favourite at Wolverhampton last month and he could do better still this year. He gets the vote ahead of Kirkdale who is respected in his hat-trick bid, while Hockney hasn't had things go his way in 2 starts this season.
