Formscan - HELIOS ALLEN has been running consistently well in defeat since returning from two years off at Fontwell in August and Ben Case has found the nine-year-old an ideal opportunity to score for the first time over fences. Mersey Street failed to fire at Stratford recently but it is far too soon to be writing him off, especially in this company, while A Great Excuse is also noted.
