Heltenham (5/4), Doctor Ken (3/1), Walk On Quest (11/2), Tommy's Oscar (13/2), Statuario (8/1), Dubai Days (17/2), Rexem (40/1)
After 8 weeks off, HELTENHAM shaped well under an attacking ride when second at Newton Abbot 5 days ago and he is taken to go one better from 2 lb below his last winning mark. He can see off the challenge of Doctor Ken, who goes very well fresh and could still have more to offer as a chaser, while Walk On Quest is worth another chance given the promising start he made over fences.
