Formscan - In a competitive affair where a case can be made for many, the tentative vote goes to HELTER SKELTER. Rebecca Menzies' charge was unsuited by the way the race developed when finishing down the field over 7f at Ayr on his penultimate start, before shaping with promise when runner-up over a mile at Carlisle recently. Upped 1lb with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces, he appeals most. Thewind Cries Mary has showed enough in her three qualifying runs to suggest that she can be competitive in a race of this nature, and she commands attention on her handicap bow. Naval Academy and Classy Boy are also noteworthy.
