Verdict

A tight-knit handicap in which HELM ROCK edges the vote on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton third. Urban Lion is also weighted to have a big say and could emerge as the main danger after a break, although Tempus and Longlai both need considering too.

  1. HELM ROCK
  2. URBAN LION
  3. TEMPUS
