WAR HERO, a six-times winner around here, is comfortably the pick on official ratings and, with his regular pilot's claim to aid his cause, can gain victory number seven. He beat stablemate Eglish narrowly over the course and distance in January when conceding 5lb and will be receiving 2lb though the latter has Colin Keane in the saddle this time. Woodrow had been in excellent form in minor handicaps on the track before easily landing a maiden but went up a massive 12lb and was well beaten next time. Rocky Dreams scored at Wolverhampton for Richard Hannon and is probably better than we've been seeing in his three runs for new connections.
