Kevin Heffernan Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Heavy 8 Weather: Showers
Tuvalu has a great record with the jockey aboard. Should be up on the speed and tough to hold out. Arkansaw Kid is the class of the race and on best form should give this a shake. Tamerlane was sound while resuming and will be strips fitter for the return. They look the main three with the favourite looking very hard to hold out at W-F-A.

1. Tuvalu (2)
Class of the field who can be up on speed and looks very suited in this field and at the weights. Should be very hard to hold out.
2. Arkansaw Kid (6)
No luck last time out and has the class to bounce back and give this a shake. Commands thought in this field.
3. Buffalo River (10)
Can’t have.
4. Tamerlane (9)
Sound on resuming and will be strips fitter for the return. Goes right in the mix in this.

This looks too tough.
8. Snow Patrol (4)
Capable in this field and races well fresh. Worth thought.
