Few of these arrive in any sort of form but Helamis did win at Chepstow in November and has been placed over further, though her best form is over 2m. LANDMEAFORTUNE is still a maiden but Martin Todhunter's grey stayed on late off a fast pace over 2m1f here when last seen and wouldn't need to improve much on that to finally open his account. Dye Of A Needle is from an in-form yard and has travelled up from Wales so is also respected.
