The best may have been saved until last. Helamis was a revelation over 2m at Chepstow last time but has no real form over longer trips. Jumpandtravel has been raised for landing a poor seller at Fakenham but Catherines Well should go well on her handicap debut after chasing home Girly Girl at Plumpton. Mini Muck and the returning Seas Of Green could also figure while Palmaria's third at Exeter was a much-improved effort. ACES OVER EIGHTS won at Towcester in the spring and was unlucky to come up against a well-handicapped rival at Fontwell on her reappearance. She'll strip fitter here and can go one better.
