Verdict

Helvic Dream is rated 2lb higher than DIDN'THAVEMUCHTODO but will be conceding 12lb with the latter rider's claim factored in. The selection completed a double last summer and was returning from a very long break when placed at Listed level last month. Helvic Dream hasn't improved from his brilliant form in 2021 when he beat the very smart Broome in the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold cup at the Curragh though he would have finished closer at Leopardstown in April but for being impeded. Dundalk winner Londoner has raced in strong company since a close fourth in a Longchamp Group 3 in April and isn't out of this.
