Formscan  - Having won his last four races with more in hand than the winning margins may have suggested, HAVANA SKY has gone from strength to strength since reverting to the all-weather and a fifth consecutive success could be within his reach, despite him being 18lb above his mark when the winning run started last month. Fellow last-time-out winner Southbank commands respect under a 6lb penalty, while Apache Star lurks on a dangerous rating and cannot be ruled out on these terms.
