9/4
Reliable handicapper with multiple course wins, though occasionally uncooperative. Won 11-runner handicap (15/2) over same course/distance 14 days ago, rallying strongly in final furlong with improved attitude. Strong record at this venue suggests competitiveness.

40/1
Has struggled in recent runs, finishing 8th of 11 in handicap at this C&D (66/1) 14 days ago, never threatening despite good position. Looks in need of a ratings drop to be competitive.

9/1
Performs much better on all-weather than turf with 5 course wins at Dundalk. Won a claimer at this course and distance (10/3) 9 days ago, capitalising on a drop in grade. Proven track specialist who remains of interest.

Third in handicap at Curragh (18/1) 90 days ago, then fifth of 13 in claimer over C&D (33/1) 9 days ago when making steady late headway. May be better suited by a longer trip.

Has shown form on both surfaces, winning a 14-runner handicap at this C&D (9/2) 49 days ago when making late headway and leading in the dying strides. Visor replaces blinkers today and not an obvious type to follow up.

Won sole AW start at this C&D in December 2023 and seventh of 17 in handicap at Curragh (18/1) 24 days ago when denied a run but finished with running left. One to look out for back on polytrack.

Verdict

SPORTING HERO has excelled at this venue with 5 course wins and impressed when landing a C&D claimer 9 days ago.
