Verdict

HOLETOWN HERO opened his account with something in hand here in December and looks up to defying a penalty back up in trip. Future Investment is fancied to provide the main threat if bouncing back to the form he showed on his penultimate start. Bold Reaction disappointed behind the selection last time but has had a breathing operation since.
