Take The Helm has strong claims despite a 4lb rise for winning in this grade at Lingfield when beating Eljaddaaf, Suzi's Connoisseur and SQUATS in the process. But the latter re-opposes on better terms today having subsequently endured a nightmare trip at Goodwood and the Haggas charge gets another chance granted normal luck in-running. Eljaddaaf and Suzi's Connoisseur have both gone close since when behind runner-up Lucymai over track and trip and Qaffaal is another to consider back over today’s trip. War Glory also has a shout on the best of last year’s form in a competitive affair.
