20/1

25/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good) on debut 19 days ago, fading after showing speed. Drop to 6f looks a logical move.

28,000 gns Territories half-brother to 2-y-o 6f winner Candescence. Dam, winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner), closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Turn Tide.

Forecasts

Helvetique (13/8), Golden Warrior (9/4), Skittlebombz (3/1), Pyrotechnic (9/1), Voodoo Ray (20/1), The Embezzler (40/1), Vince Lombardi (80/1)

HELVETIQUE did it quite nicely at Chepstow in a race which has thrown up a winner so may be capable of defying a penalty. Skittlebombz will be an obvious threat if reproducing his Haydock second, while there should also be more to come from Golden Warrior on the back of his Newmarket debut fourth.
