Verdict
Gordon Elliott has been unable to find a race for Be My Hero, who is 0-19 but has run well enough to get into the frame here. Caoimhes Pet is 10lb higher than when landing a Killarney handicap but didn't act on heavy ground last time. He looks held at the weights by BALTINGLASS HILL (NAP), beaten just under two lengths at Killarney when conceding 7lb and the selection here. We'llgowats could do with more rain as he won on testing ground at Gowran in September and was narrowly beaten on heavy going at Wexford last month. Gold Haven is still a maiden but was in the lead at this trip before run out of it close home over 2m4f at Cork. St Denis's Well produced a shock victory at Navan and is 9lb higher while Gamigin was sent to Ayr to gain his first success over hurdles on his 18th start.
