Verdict

A case can be made for all of these but HEAVENLY HEATHER impressed with how she travelled when scoring over 6f here last time out and can defy a 4 lb rise with this drop to the minimum trip a likely plus. King's Crown also arrives in fine nick though so should ensure Tracy Waggott's mare doesn't have things all her own way.
