Verdict

HELNWEIN has run well in hotly-contested handicaps on his last 3 starts, including behind subsequent County Hurdle winner Wilful at Ascot on his most recent outing, and is expected to find the drop in grade liberating. Across Earth beat all bar one who had the run of things on his latest start at Huntingdon and is an obvious threat back from a break, with veteran Faivoir also shortlisted now eased in class.
