Back to form with an easy success at Perth last time out after a respectable second over C&D before that, HELTENHAM sets the standard, and he still looks well-treated on old form. Yes Indeed has been on a roll since joining the Martin Keighley stable, and stepping up in trip could bring about further improvement in the eight-year-old. A promising runner-up at Chepstow last time out, Light N Strike is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Excello.

It is difficult to look past the Dan Skelton-trained ROXANNE, who impressed when scoring on her hurdles debut at Ayr last month. Formerly with Ed Dunlop on the level, the five-year-old should enjoy this ground and she is preferred to Roadshow, who hasn't exactly set the world alight since arriving from France but his stable has an excellent record here. Ben Lomond and Moves Like Mason cannot be ruled out either.

Despite a brief scare, GWENNIE MAY JEM always appeared in control when seeing off El Rojo Grande at Warwick last time out and, despite a 6lb pull at the weights for the runner-up on this occasion, Dan Skelton's charge is taken to follow up. Crac De Megaudais would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his success at Fakenham in January.

SWEET CARYLINE made the frame in this class at Exeter in March and has been dropped 1lb. Joe Tizzard's seven-year-old makes only her fifth handicap outing and with the likelihood of more to come, she could be the one to beat. Mairis Icon occupied the runner-up berth in a warmer contest at Wincanton and should remain competitive, while Asian Spice sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.

A DEFINITE GETAWAY successfully completed a double at Hereford on his latest outing and a further 3lb rise may underestimate the pace of his progression. The seven-year-old remains in the same grade and will prove very difficult to beat. Onethreefivenotout finished a fair third at Plumpton last month and can go well, while Killer Kane is another to take seriously.

AL SAYAH finished well clear of the third when beaten a length at Exeter and is just 3lb higher. If the five-year-old can run to a similar level, she could be the one to beat. Iris Des Issards struck over track and trip and is likely to have his supporters off a 4lb higher rating. Of the remainder, Supreme Yeats makes the most appeal.
