Helfire
10- Form 7-0613
- Age 3
- Weight 8-8
- Official Rating 62
- Trainer H Morrison
- Jockey Charlie Bennett
awkward on way to post, tracked leading trio, 3rd on inside 2f out, led over 1f out, soon ridden and joined, stayed on to assert well inside final furlong
Verdict
Helfire was expected to do better here last time unpenalised for an earlier win but Danecase is upped only 2lb for scoring at Newbury last week and Dunnscotia beat With Approval at Kempton, though found one too good of today’s higher mark last time. Straits Of Malacca has a shout off his current mark but GUNG HO JACK drops down a grade after finishing runner-up over 6f on his reappearance and is worth another try over today’s longer distance.
