5/4

Made the ideal start with his stable going well when landing an 8-runner contest at Uttoxeter and far from disgraced when third in a stronger contest at Aintree 3 months ago. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 13

Helsgetaway¹¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell

4/1

Built on promising debut when runner-up in Newcastle bumper 115 days ago and looks capable of going one better if taking another step forward.

15/8

Forecasts

Gamesters Guy (5/4), Robby (15/8), Realco (11/4), Helsgetaway (4/1), Cornish Comedy (10/1), Rightbackatyou (11/1)

HELSGETAWAY sets the standard on his second at Newcastle last time and, with the scope for better still, he might be the one to side with over Gamesters Guy, the only winner in the field. Robby is comfortably the most appealing of the newcomers.
