HELLENISTA wasn’t far away at Catterick on her latest outing and with the form of that race reading well, Tim Easterby’s filly will be a popular order tonight. Bonne Vitesse was behind her on that occasion but if the rain arrives in significant volume, Micky Hammond’s filly may be capable of turning the tables. Oasis Prince is winless since 2019 but did attempt to make a bold bid at Thirsk on his first run of the season.
