Weak Hilbert property conjecture for geometric fibrations

Let KK be a field of characteristic zero, and let YY and ZZ be connected smooth KK-varieties. Let f:YZf:Y\to Z be a dominant morphism such that the generic fibre YR(Z)Y_{R(Z)} is a smooth and proper R(Z)R(Z)-variety satisfying WHP over R(Z)R(Z). Assume that ZZ has HP over KK.

Weak Hilbert property conjecture for geometric fibrations. In the situation above, YY has WHP over KK.

The source presents this as an open special case implied by the fibration conjecture when K/QK/\mathbb{Q} is finitely generated, while the corresponding smooth proper case is proved in the paper.
