Saint Helena has won twice here this year though both victories were at Class 6 level. She only had half-a-length to spare over Knight Of The Air in April and the latter is 8lb better off. HOT MUSTARD scored in this class here and at Sandown last summer and has dropped just enough in the ratings to get into this race. He's been running in better company and can get back to winning ways. Wakame won a minor handicap at Nottingham and started favourite for a better race at Epsom but couldn't handle the track so he should do better while none of the remaining trio can be discounted in a tight little handicap.
