Verdict
It's a surprise to see SIXTIES HABANA at this level after a very promising opening run at Lingfield where he finished close up behind Golden Slam. That form is at a different level to that shown by Nudge Nudge, beaten a long way at 66/1 at Leicester, and Fast Watch, last of 13 and beaten a distance at Naas when trained in Ireland.
