      Verdict

      GREAT HEAVENS can boast an illustrious list of winning relatives headed by stablemate and last year's King George hero Nathaniel. She made only a modest debut when unfancied at Haydock in September but should be capable of much better over middle-distances. Sir Henry Cecil runs two with Amaraja another expected to improve for the longer trip and she's preferred to the newcomer Jorum. Another debutant in Monshak is worth noting as connections shelled out 350,000 euros for the daughter of Monsun while it's not impossible that both Bite Of The Cherry and Plumbago Blue are better than we've seen so far.
