Verdict
War Hero and Tynamite are multiple course winners and the latter hasn't been running badly over a mile from this mark. SCARLET ANGEL has only had six runs, the latest when just over a length behind the prolific Flame Of Eire at Bellewstown in August. She's never raced here but looks very well handicapped and Jack Kearney's claim is a bonus. No Speed Limit has been poorly handicapped on the all-weather for some time but has gradually dropped to a more manageable mark and generally goes well here. Kratos scored on Tapeta for Roger Varian in the UK and looks a nice acquisition for Ado McGuinness.
