Verdict

Paddy Prendergast landed this contest a year ago and WAR HERO might be worth a chance now. The Declaration Of War colt improved over the winter on the AW at Dundalk and should be capable of going close back on turf with Sean Davis taking off a handy 7lb. Ishebayorgrey is the benchmark and will likely run well, though he would be better suited over 7f. Knowing You and Snowstar are potential improvers.
