Verdict

HEERAAT spilt a couple of previous winners when third to Fulbright at Newmarket and the form was franked when the winner went on to land a valuable handicap at Goodwood. Both Lady Gorgeous and Accession are held on that form and Willie Haggas' colt can finally get off the mark for the season in this. Mince looks a danger on her early-season form but she has something to find with the selection on a line through Fulbright and also needs to reverse running with Big Note. Newcastle winner Springinmystep is improving, however, and Galician is better than he's shown in his last two starts and should make his presence felt along with York runner-up Kool Henry.
