      Verdict

      Heska scored over course and distance last week but 7lb extra may well put paid to his chances. The less-exposed DIRE STRAITS (NAP) makes more appeal on his latest second over track and trip with Sakhra back in third. The latter has subsequently finished ahead of Cascadia so Chris Wall's colt looks to have solid claims in this company with both Captain Swift and Baileys En Premier hard to fancy.
