Reacted well to cheekpieces when winning at Chelmsford in November but folded tamely to finish last of 11 over C&D since.

One win from 25 runs but has shown promise back on AW in recent weeks, catching the eye when third at Wolverhampton on Monday. Given a chance to build on that.

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, good fifth of 11 in C&D handicap 13 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up.

Successful over this trip at Wolverhampton in May and June. Went close over 2m at Newcastle in July but off since a lesser effort at Chelmsford in August.

Latest win at Newcastle (12.5f) in September. Respectable seventh of 12 at Newcastle (1¼m) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip.

Failed to win in 8 starts in Ireland for Sheila Lavery but struck at the first time of asking for new yard in 1½m Lingfield handicap 6 weeks ago. Could have more to offer for this stable and the much longer trip should be within range.

Good third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (13f, good, 14/1) when last seen in July. Acts on tapeta. Claims if ready to roll after 139 days off.

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 but did record a few creditable placed efforts in the first half of the year. Off since a lesser effort at Kempton in June.

Lightly-raced maiden. Made a respectable start to her handicap career when sixth of 12 over C&D 70 days ago but it underlines she needs more from her mark.

Arrives on the back of placed efforts at Wolverhampton in recent months, including this trip. Each-way claims.

Down the field in 3 qualifying runs at up to 1¼m but wouldn't be the first from this yard to prove a totally different proposition in handicaps. Up significantly in trip with cheekpieces added. One to keep a close eye on in the market.

Forecasts

Heatherdown Hero (9/4), Mini Mildred (3/1), Prince Abu (9/2), Upepo (5/1), Cape Point (9/1), Zephlyn (11/1), Great Colaci (20/1), Steel Helmet (25/1), Shadowfax (25/1), Rapallo (33/1), Sociologist (33/1), Run At Dawn (100/1)

Verdict

A 1-25 career record hardly makes HEATHERDOWN HERO one for maximum faith but he was an eyecatcher at Wolverhampton on Monday and is worth a chance to confirm that promise turned out again quickly. Lingfield-winner Upepo could have more to offer for new trainer Tony Carroll and rates an obvious threat. George Boughey handicap newcomer Rapallo would also very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

  1. Heatherdown Hero9/4
  2. Upepo5/1
  3. Rapallo33/1
