Heath leads in Alicante on -7.
Grant showed the continued form after PGA Tour qualifying a two weeks ago and completed an error free round with four birdies. McGee, winner of Stage 1, had just one stetback when he bogeyed the par three 13th.
Brendan McCarroll was two strokes further back in a share of eighteenth after a first round 69.
Niall Kearney was one in under par and in 28th place on Saturday
Damian Mooney carded a 74 which also included a double on the par 4 sixth.
David Rawluk finished with a 75 on opening day and has much work to do to make the third round cut.
At El Saler Kevin Phelan led the Irish challenge with 71 and that was only good enough for 16th place as Sweden's Pelle Edberg carded a 66 to lead at -6.
Colm Moriarty finished one over par on 73 and is in 37th to join Alan Dunbar in Valencia.
John Daniel Guiney's run may have ended after reaching the eighteenth on 38 strokes, then double bogeying his eleventh hole - the par four second - followed by a triple on the next to end his day on 82.
At El Lumine Dermot McElroy suffered a double on the sixth but recovered to sign for a level par 71. But in 41st as England's Chris Hannon leads on 7 under after signing for a 64.
Valle Romano saw Gareth Shaw end the day on 72 strokes with the pace setter Pontus Widegren of Sweden carding a 64.
There are still a number of exempt places in field for the Qualifying School Final to be determined following the conclusion of the Challenge Tour Grand Final and the publication of the Challenge Tour Rankings.
Therefore the exact number of spots available at each 2nd Stage venue will not be announced until this is published on Sunday 3rd November in the afternoon.
However, there will be a minimum of 15 spots available at each venue.
