Helnwein has been laid out for this final with trainer Alan King saying as much back in February. He has run consistently on all four runs over hurdles including a winning start at Warwick. He ran over course and distance when second in a listed novice hurdle on heavy ground, last December. That was a three-runner race and Helnwein needs a fast run race where he can come from behind. He finished fourth at Kempton in a Grade 2 hurdle race won by Lump Sum. Last time out. He finished runner-up to Secret Squirrel at Taunton. This stiffer and more galloping course will help reverse placings with Secret Squirrel along with the fact he is 5lbs better off at the weights against that rival here. Helnwein has a low weight of 10-13 and looks a decent each way shout in a wide-open race.

Venetia Williams has a strong chance with Martator in this novice’s handicap chase. He jumps well and has not finished outside the first three in all his eight starts over fences. I thought that soft ground was important for this horse, but he proved me wrong with a tidy win at Ascot last month. I was more impressed with the fact he coped with a drop in trip on good ground as that race was over 2m1f. The handicapper has raised him 5lbs to 127 which is fair and workable. Martator will enjoy going back out in trip to 2m4f. He travels and jumps well and will be staying on strongly up the hill finish carrying a low weight of 10-6 with Charlie Deutsch riding.
