HERO OF THE HOUR shared the spoils in this race last year and looks primed for another big run after a promising second at Bellewstown recently. Realtin Fantasy bounced back to form when a neck second at Tipperary with cheekpieces back on and remains on a workable mark. Lakota Lady shaped better than the result at Naas and may improve back at 5f.
