      Verdict

      Latent Heat is tried in cheekpieces looking to end a long losing run. A winner twice at Southwell at the start of the year, Local Bay hasn’t been beaten far the last twice at Chepstow. Heer's Sadie has clearly improved this year and is chasing a course and distance hat-trick raised only 2lb but OPTIVA STAR was only beaten a head off this mark at Epsom six days ago and her turn may have come around. Windsor third Brilliant Blue is 0-16 but may be best of the rest.
