HERCULANEUM confirmed the promise of his recent hurdle runs when coming out on top under a well-judged ride here 7 days ago and he could be the way to go under a penalty. Be My Hero for Gordon Elliott and Port Rashid are others to consider, whilst Out of The Park also makes some appeal on just her second start in handicaps.
