(5)

Hurricane Helen¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 60| D

5/4

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bath (1m, good to soft, 15/2) 14 days ago. Form been boosted so a 4 lb rise may not stop her.

Form: 460-631

(6)

Alba Del Sole²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 50

50/1

Unreliable type. Won at Brighton last autumn but she hasn't beaten many home in her 4 runs since.

Form: 819-080

(1)

Ascraeus^v1⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 45| CD

11/1

Has struggled since his win in this 12 months ago, including on reappearance, but she is effectively running from 3 lb lower than last year so she could be dangerous if a first-time visor sparks a revival.

Form: 66870-9

Forecasts

Hurricane Helen (5/4), Majestic Tejaan (5/2), Granary Queen (13/2), Bluenose Belle (15/2), Ascraeus (11/1), Velvet And Steel (33/1), Alba Del Sole (50/1)

HURRICANE HELEN's recent Bath win looks solid form for the level so she may be able to cope with a 4 lb rise. Bluenose Belle has edged back down the weights and could be the one to give Rod Millman's filly most to think about.
