Inner Circle couldn’t quite hang on at Haydock last time and could do better while Dellaguista is capable of building on her solid third at Goodwood but the vote goes to HELOVAPLAN (NAP). He only won a modest-looking race at Thirsk but the form has worked out surprisingly well and there should be more to come. Fayez has questions to answer after twice being slowly away while Proud Archi has not built on his Beverley win. But Komodo has improved with every run and is capable of making the frame on his handicap debut.
