Verdict

HELTENHAM continued on his upward curve and had a couple of re-opposing rivals in his wake when running out a good winner of the Greatwood Gold Cup over C&D 3 weeks ago and a 6 lb rise for that victory shouldn't prevent another bold showing with his yard continuing in smashing form. Gunsight Ridge was no match for an improver latest but comes here with good claims. Solo, back in handicaps/partnered by a good-value claimer, can also figure.

  1. HELTENHAM (FR)
  2. GUNSIGHT RIDGE
  3. SOLO (FR)
