LITTLE PRETENDER (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his outstanding win three back, getting around Star Pelaw over 245m in 14.37. Has the ability and looks hard to top. ROMANTIC TESSIE (2) got around the 261m at this track to take a D1 in a solid 15.84 for a 3.5 lengths win. Harder here but will be in this for a long way. HAVANA SPECIAL (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 16.00 beating Swift Oriel. The form out of his last race has been franked. Can make it two on the bounce. LINKS MILLBILL (1) won as expected last time – sure to feature again.
