Helm Rock – 17:00 Southwell

Flags: Horse In Focus, Top Rated

Helm Rock hasn’t won for over a year, but he has tumbled down the weights in that time, and he signalled he’s ready to take advantage when narrowly beaten over a mile at Chelmsford earlier this month.

He was arguably unlucky not to win on that occasion, too, racing freely out wide and losing his position around halfway, but he got himself back in contention only to meet trouble in running in the straight.

Helm Rock found an opening entering the final furlong and finished with a flourish, only just failing to reel in the eventual winner. He could do with brushing up his starts, but he’s clearly back on a mark he can be competitive from and, Richard Kingscote, who has won on him before, is back in the saddle.

What are the Flags?

Timeform have eight premium ‘Flags’ which quickly and simply identify a horse of interest with the help of handy graphics and symbols. Learn more about Flags here.
