Verdict
Latent Heat never raced beyond 1m2f on the Flat but did win twice. BELIEVE JACK (NAP) was no world-beater on the level in Ireland but ran a race full or promise on his hurdles bow at Tipperary in May, finding only one too good. Now with Olly Murphy, a repeat of that effort here would probably suffice. Helix won over 1m3f on Polytrack but Great Heart'jac, a close second in a Chepstow bumper and a winner between the flags, looks a bigger danger.
