Verdict

HELMSLEY returned to form when second to an improver at Chester recently and would appear to have every chance of going one place better on this occasion. Qitaal also occupied the runner-up spot when beaten a head at Ripon last time and is the obvious danger ahead of Mao Shang Wong, who won't find this as taxing as his most recent start at York.

Top Tip: Helmsley (3)
Watch out for: Qitaal (4)

QITAAL is a strong selection here. He is on a long losing run but has dropped 4lb below his last winning mark despite running back into form recently. He should get a decent pace to aim at set by Helmsley who also bounced back to form off a reduced mark when placing last time. That came over a stretching 12f trip and she should find this test more suitable. Mao Shang Wong proved progressive until his last run and this is a much weaker contest so he isn't dismissed either.
