Verdict

Three-time course winner HAVANA MOJITO has finished runner-up on his last 4 starts, bumping into an in-form rival at Doncaster on his latest outing, and is taken to open his account for the year this time around. Viking Glory could be the main danger having been finding his feet for James Owen, with The Organiser also considered.

7	Fair form in maiden/novice events for Adrian Keatley. Below par in handicaps on first 3 starts for current yard, but took a step back in the right direction when third of 6 at Yarmouth (6f) 3 weeks ago. Interesting from his easing mark switched to cheekpieces. 2nd Pick 7 Viking Glory (Ire) Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: James Owen J: Cieren Fallon T: James Owen	99	-	-	-	19%

2	Successful twice last year, including over 6f here for this yard. Ran well back on turf this season when second at Lingfield (7f) in May and needed a stronger gallop when mid-field at the same venue (all-weather) 23 days ago. One to note from his current mark. 3rd Pick 2 The Organiser Jockey: Pat Cosgrave Trainer: Mark Pattinson J: Pat Cosgrave T: Mark Pattinson	94	-	-	-	17%
