Verdict

THEME PARK did well to get up at York last time after conceding first run and is narrowly preferred to William Haggas handicap newcomer Kilt, who should have more to offer after only 3 starts. Helm Rock has been better than the result in his recent outings and also makes the shortlist in a competitive opener.

  1. THEME PARK
  2. KILT (IRE)
  3. HELM ROCK
