      In depth

      Verdict

      Helvetique improved on her Chelmsford debut to win at Chepstow but this race probably has more depth to it. Golden Warrior made a promising start when fourth at Newmarket but there was also plenty to like about SKITTLEBOMBZ’ second at Haydock. He looks a tough sort and a useful apprentice takes off a handy 5lb. Pyrotechnic is a half-brother to a 6f winner but might need this.
