Nurseries are so often about the here and now, and the two horses with recent form in the context of this race are Five Helmets and SOPHOSC. The former carries a 6lb penalty for winning at Beverley last week, but that is negated by his riders 7lb claim. However, the Jo Tuite-trained youngster is preferred. Plenty was expected of him on nursery debut at Kempton last week (7/2jf) despite his moderate previous sprinting form, and he appeared to be very well suited by this 7f trip when just failing to reel in Precision Prince. Unless one of the other runners steps forward a notch or two, he should prove ultra-competitive back on turf off the same handicap mark.
