Verdict
Beverley winner HAVANA STAR ran well when finishing third last time out and Kevin Ryan's charge can make a winning handicap debut in this. The selection hails from a stable with a 27% strike-rate (3/11) in nurseries here in recent seasons and he can see off Kirbec who drops back in trip having run well over 7f last time out. Byron's Choice , a disappointment on the AW last time can take third on his handicap debut.
