It could pay to take a chance on HELP ME RHONDA over this longer trip having found 1m at Lingfield too sharp last time. She's likely in better heart that recent form figures suggest and can get the better of Guinness Lad, who was much improved in a Windsor handicap last time, while Mon Etoile would have claims if bouncing back.
