Heska only won a lesser contest at Beverley last month by a neck and would need more here. Leicester scorer Final Countdown should go well, however, while Kinema went close at Pontefract last month, though a 4lb rise in the weights seems harsh. GO SAKHEE didn't appear to handle Epsom's undulations too well when favourite on the Surrey course four weeks ago. The Windsor winner will be happier here and can recoup losses. Aristocracy did better back in this grade at Ffos Las last week and could be the chief threat.
