Heir To Be will undoubtedly improve for this step up to two miles following his best effort to date last time out over two furlongs less. The three-year-old holds obvious chances but with him hailing from a top-class stable he is unlikely to offer any value in the betting market. There are several runners here who relish a true test of stamina, not least the TEAMtalk selection Belle Rouge who best career efforts have all come at this trip. She is effective both on the turf and dirt and is racing off a good enough mark to be worth an interest at an each-way price. There are obvious dangers including High Policy who rarely runs a bad race but generally has to settle for minor honours. On old form Trotter's Future would be well in here but has lost his way nowadays and showed nothing on his first run for his new yard last time out. Kent has to be feared if at his best but is a shade in and out while Fifth Edition is likely to find this trip too much of a test.
