Prairie Town was well beaten on his reappearance but went close in this last year when ahead of fourth-placed Movie Legend. Carolines Charm and Yccs Portocervo won at Plumpton and Uttoxeter respectively but both have been beaten since while Enrichissant is 12lb higher than when scoring at Huntingdon earlier in the year. Boagrius went close at Newbury back in February but HAVANA HERMANO has improved for the application of cheekpieces having won in August and beaten only a length at Wetherby last time and Stuart Edmunds’ charge may prove the one to side with.
