Verdict

Despite having to conceded 6lbs and upwards all round. HUMBLE HERO sets a good standard and may be hard to beat assuming he's fit enough after a six-month break. His fine third in a red-hot Sandown handicap hurdle in April is a standout piece of form. Balinsker impressed with his win on debut in an Irish point and cost £90,000 after that. Represents yard who have won this race four times since 2011. Evander also won his only start in an Irish point and is respected on his Rules bow, while Bon Calvados has shown ability and Eurkash is one of the likelier outsiders.
