Verdict
Estate House returns to action having won over track and trip back in October while Pope Gregory is upped in distance bidding for a hat-trick of course wins and has every chance of lasting home. But HELIAN (NAP) made a promising debut for Chris Dwyer’s yard when beaten only a neck over course and distance on his first start gelded and the latter can go one better in this. Mabre and Always Fearless posted better efforts last time but Mount Mayon is less exposed and may improve now handicapping.
