SUMERIAN can complete a quickfire double for the Heath House team with Park View possibly the one for the forecast. The selection represents the yard that won this race last year and Sumerian looks capable of following in the footsteps of Point Of Light. She didn't make her debut until May but she has shown steady progression with each visit to the racecourse and can strike again before her new mark takes effect. Nave is also due to race from a higher mark in the future following a good second at Thirsk but he has been steadily climbing the weights for getting beaten which is never ideal. Whiepa Snappa and Scottish Boogie are running well at present but a more interesting proposition may be Park View who struggled to see out a mile and six behind a stablemate of the selection's at Haydock but ran well for a long way and the form of her Chester second is also rock solid. She can win again from her current perch and rates the biggest threat to the selection, Sumerian.
