Verdict

BE MY HERO found only one too good at Wexford last time and, in a race where the majority have questions to answer, he's worth backing to go one better. Jinx Link is one of few others to arrive in form, so he's feared most, while Little Flour can feature if she returns to the form of her penultimate run.
