Verdict
Helford River has shown some promise, particularly on his handicap debut. He wouldn’t need much more to be prominent in a race like this under Jonjo O’Neill Jr but the battle-hardened WAZOWSKI may just have his measure after finishing second in this grade at Carlisle when only a pound lower. No Alarm has gone up 6lb for winning at Market Rasen while Brigadier Bob is going backwards. Brunel Woods again looked one-paced when fourth at Hereford last time.
