It's unlikely that a 4 lb rise will be enough to prevent LOCAL HERO from following up on his ready C&D success in December and, in the process, maintain his 100% record at this course. Cracking Gold got back on track on his first run since being gelded when finding just one too strong in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell recently. He is just about feared most ahead of Brasil Power.
