        Verdict

        Heavens Walk gets the narrow vote in a competitive handicap to open the card with Special Gold and Fast Heart rated as the main dangers. The selection ran a blinder from a poor draw at Kempton last time and this 5-year-old certainly deserves to get his head in front. He has been running consistently well and and although he is not ideally drawn he looks the percentage call. Special Gold won well last time in a handicap over this course and distance when beating Succeed and if this front runner is given an easy lead he could be difficult to peg back. Fast Heart hasn't won for three years but he did run encouragingly last time and he does have a decent draw today. Lady Bahia goes well here and she is another with place prospects, but Heavens Walk is due a change of fortune and gets the vote.
