Heathen is our selection in this Chester Class 4, preferred over the top-rated on a progressive profile backed up by the fastest clock time in the field. Venezuelan, the nominal pace-setter on our figures, and Imperial Sovereign both have solid recent form and are the chief dangers, with Gaelic Approach also capable of running into the frame. It’s a medium-confidence verdict, but Heathen’s upward trend and the clock evidence combine to get the vote.
