      Verdict

      Helovaplan has placed on his last couple of outings here attempting to make all and looks vulnerable once again if taking up the running. CONTRAST was winning off a 9lb higher mark at Lingfield at this time last year and has been competing in better company than this subsequently. Having only his third start for Mick Easterby, he may prove the one to side with given both Intense Style and Saisons D'Or are returning from lay-offs. Remmy D won a claimer at the end of last year but was well beaten here on his reappearance.
