No obvious standout but four course and distance winners, of which HURRICANE HELEN makes most appeal. A beaten favourite last time, she was far from disgraced though when a respectable Salisbury third and possibly a tad unfortunate not to have finished closer. She scored gamely here the time before and can return to winning ways off an unchanged mark. Monaajez has every chance on the level of his penultimate start and his last run is easily forgiven, so he represents a definite danger along with the other course and distance winners in Point Louise and Girl Inthe Picture, who are preferred in that order. The jury is out on Aviary but the waters are further muddied by the presence of Storytime, who has shown nothing in four starts but is well worth checking in the market.
