Verdict
HEKAAYAAT appears to hold all the aces in this having landed a Chepstow maiden on her reappearance with more in hand than the winning margin suggests. She wears a hood here to help her concentrate and looks to have been let in lightly on her handicap debut. Oddysey's only modest run came when tried over 1m2f here two runs ago. She got back to winning ways at Thirsk last month and should be thereabouts again. Simply Shining was only beaten a nose at Hamilton last time and looks best of the rest as Certral, Spavento and Lady Of The House all have a bit to prove at present.
