A low-key finale which won't take much winning. HEEZAGREY is a course and distance winner and only a pound higher than when third to Go Amwell over track and trip last month when Spanish Fork was behind. A repeat of that effort may well suffice as none of his rivals have shown much lately with the possible exception of Southway Queen, only beaten half-a-length by Dreamsoftheatre at Newton Abbot in August. She'll be helped by Patrick Corbett's claim. Minella Bliss is treading water off his current mark but Orsm may be improving and is still edging down the weights.
