Forecasts

Helmont (2/5), Mashaan (5/2), Tigerhon (3/1), Zarina Grande (14/1), Wudashudacuda (22/1), Spark Fury (28/1), Beau Visage (50/1), Stamford Bridge (100/1), Step Sister (125/1), Ken's Boy (200/1)

HELMONT is clearly well regarded by connections given he was chanced in a listed race last time. He was far from disgraced that day and he should be able to take this event if he runs near that form. Mashaan is steadily improving and he'll be a danger. Tigerhon was well fancied on debut at Newcastle and he too may well improve to play a part.
