Verdict

HERCULANEUM confirmed the promise of his recent hurdle runs when coming out on top under a well-judged ride here 7 days ago and he could be the way to go under a penalty. Be My Hero for Gordon Elliott and Port Rashid are others to consider, whilst Out of The Park also makes some appeal on just her second start in handicaps.

  1. HERCULANEUM (IRE)
  2. BE MY HERO (IRE)
  3. PORT RASHID (IRE)
