      Verdict

      True Hero has won three and finished second in the other three of his last six races, four of them here. He looked a couple of pounds high three weeks ago and has been raised another 2lb, though that was a Class 5 event. Brandy Station easily completed a quick track and trip double earlier in the month so it's not surprising to see him raised 11lb. MOONRAKER generally races at a higher level as he did when beaten just over two lengths on his return to action here last month. He's won from much higher marks in the past and can end a long losing run. Pull Harder Con completed a double over 6f in November and finds the minimum on the short side these days but Qaaraat does his best work here and his run at Wetherby on Sunday can be ignored.
