Formscan - HAVANA FORCE picked her way through the field to run out a three-length victor over track and trip on her latest outing and her confidence will be boosted now that she has got her head in front. The daughter of Havana Grey can defy her 7lb rise and complete a double. Fools Rush In returned to winning ways at Southwell and should remain competitive off 2lb higher, while Mesaafi is another to keep an eye on.

Quotes on Circles (IRE)
The first night Seamie rode her he said he was sorry he didn't win on her. He promised after Christmas that she would win one or two. I thought the handicapper had her now, she went up 9lb which I thought was very strong for winter-time racing. For a second, I didn't think she held on. I'm very happy and I'm glad Seamie was back on again. She's a Holy Roman (Emperor) out of a Galileo mare, there's no reason why she wouldn't handle the turf but she seems to love it up here. I don't know when she ever had a bad run up here, she had been finishing fourth and fifth. She always had a hard-luck story. Hopefully, she keeps going the right way.
