Solid tempo with Jet A One, Not Wanted and Twice The Master the ones to roll forward. HELIOTROPE (4) has decent consistent form lines to her credit. She was slowly into stride over 1950m on the Kenilworth Winter course last time but stayed on well to finish second of eight. She tries the 2400m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she can return to winning form. JET A ONE (7) is better than his last start run would suggest as the jockey reported something to be amiss in the running. Resumes from a spell. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back if fit. NARETOI (10) sat on the speed and battled on well to finish third of seven last time out over 1800m at Kenilworth. Having finally found top-three form has each-way claims. NOT WANTED (6) only finished eighth at Kenilworth last start but is better than that run would suggest and on best form can finish in the money.
