      Verdict

      HEIST (NAP) wasn't beaten far on his racecourse debut at Perth and is open to plenty of improvement. He can improve past Prince Khurram, who won twice on the Flat in France and shaped with promise in both starts over timber earlier this year. Gran Maestro doesn't look anything special but World Record could be worth a second look as he's won twice over 1m on the level and was second at Beverley earlier this month.
