Verdict
Be My Hero has had 18 starts without winning and disappointed again at Navan where he started favourite after a narrow defeat at Bellewstown. CHEMDAWG had shown little sign of ability before a cracking second to the in-form Gwan Tadhg at Bellewstown and a repeat would probably be good enough for this. We'llgowats has had a break since a very good third at Punchestown in February but Mullins Cross has been running well enough to get into contention from this lowly mark.
