      Verdict

      Helford River hinted at ability in 2019 but has a very long absence to overcome and I’M SO BUSY will be a hot favourite. Though 0-6, Richard Newland’s grey has a handicap rating of 115 and has attracted market support in all three outings for his current yard. He was a long way ahead of Swedishhorsemafia at Fakenham in January but Snow Stoppin Him might have place claims after running quite well in a bumper at Newton Abbot last Friday.
