Formscan By Gary Carson - HEAVENS GATE should appreciate going another furlong here and can gain her black-type success now. When she landed the valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas it was interesting to hear Aidan O'Brien say that she wanted to go seven furlongs. She performed with credit when fourth in the Lowther Stakes at York last month and looks capable of landing this now. Barnavara sets the standard off a mark of 104 and is the obvious danger. She has been third behind Bedtime Story on her last couple of outings and is entitled to be a big player now. English raider Alla Stella could be suited by dropping back a furlong now and is place material.
