    In depth

    Verdict

    Havelock ran well for second at Bath on his debut and Oceanus showed some ability when placed at Newbury on his introduction. Berkshire Boy made a winning start at Bath earlier this month but was spooked when leaving the stalls at Newbury last time and unseated his rider. CUPPACOFFEE also got off to a winning start when scoring at Ripon and, with an apprentice’s allowance negating a 6lb penalty, Ann Duffield’s colt is taken to make another bold bid in this.
