The well-bred Helf is an interesting entrant for the Richard Hannon stable, but this one can go to fellow three-year-old HUMBLE HERO. He failed to get off the mark by the narrowest of margins in a Lingfield maiden last month but can make amends in this weaker race. Fibonacci, who couldn’t quite hang on at Yarmouth, and Chief Craftsman, who was staying on in a Nottingham maiden last time out, can chase him home.
