Verdict

A long-standing and valuable handicap in which HELTENHAM gets the verdict to carry on his progression over the larger obstacles and bring up an impressive 4-timer for the in-form Dan & Harry Skelton team. The main danger could be Captain Tom Cat, who stopped the slide from a much-reduced mark under this rider when runner-up at Plumpton 9 days ago and could well build on that effort, while Super Six and Gemirande are another couple who need considering.

  1. HELTENHAM (FR)
  2. CAPTAIN TOM CAT (IRE)
  3. SUPER SIX
