HERON CREEK has failed to pull up any trees in a trio of maiden hurdles, but improvement may well be forthcoming now that he goes down the handicap route off a lowly opening mark. If the market vibes surrounding this 5-y-o are upbeat, the hint should be taken. Isle of Aron will be a big threat if able to build on his latest effort and Start Point is also shortlisted.
