Verdict
Beat The Heat makes his English Debut after a lengthy absence and the market may be the best guide to his chance. Star Member was very impressive when making a winning debut at Lingfield and if able to reproduce that form on turf will be a big threat. However Gem Bien looks a safer bet after a very easy win at Beverly although his ability to see out the trip has to be taken on trust.
