    Verdict

    HEIBA has gone close the last twice now having followed a second over track and trip with a head defeat at Wolverhampton. Clear at the weights, he should make no mistake in this and confirm running with Eternalist. Hot Stuff recorded a string of placed efforts early in the year but hasn’t raced since July while Lilvanita has gone backwards despite sliding down the weights. Nefetari was still well beaten when runner-up here and the remaining pair are even harder to fancy.
