Verdict
Unless newcomers Zakreet, a son of Cadeaux Genereux, or Richard Fahey's filly Sabore are above-average, this should go to HEERAAT. A 50,000gns foal, he made a promising debut behind Diamondhead over this trip at Newmarket and will appreciate the uphill finish here. None of the others showed much first time but should all know more today.
