Forecasts

Andesh (9/4), War Hero (9/4), Masucci (3/1), Militry Decoration (5/1), Powersville (7/1), Paint (14/1), Check Your Pockets (16/1)

WAR HERO was a winner here last time out and he looks capable of recording a third AW victory in eight starts in this three-year-old only contest. The selection was a comfortable winner from a previous scorer on that occasion and can get the better of Andesh who has to concede weight to all of his rivals today. Trainer Ger Lyons horses are running well at present and his representative Masucci can claim third on his first outing since being gelded.
