Verdict

If HELTENHAM's recent wind operation helps precipitate a return to form he will surely go close off this reduced mark. Indeed, his wide-margin Perth success during the spring was gained off just a 2 lb lower mark and he is now 8 lb better off with Twinjets, compared to when beaten around 12 lengths into third by that rival at Fontwell last month. Twinjets is greatly respected nonetheless and rates the main danger ahead of the progressive Filanderer and American Mike.
