Forecasts

Heltenham (5/2), Captain Tom Cat (5/1), Gemirande (7/1), Unanswered Prayers (15/2), Herbiers (17/2), Coole Cody (9/1), Super Six (11/1), Deyrann de Carjac (12/1), Presentandcounting (18/1), Zhiguli (22/1), Caribean Boy (28/1), Cilaos Emery (40/1)

A long-standing and valuable handicap in which HELTENHAM gets the verdict to carry on his progression over the larger obstacles and bring up an impressive 4-timer for the in-form Dan & Harry Skelton team. The main danger could be Captain Tom Cat, who stopped the slide from a much-reduced mark under this rider when runner-up at Plumpton 9 days ago and could well build on that effort, while Super Six and Gemirande are another couple who need considering.
