War Hero has won six times here and from higher marks so the presence of a 10lb claimer in the saddle puts him in the picture. Stable companion Is That Love is a dual track winner who is gradually dropping back to a winnable mark while Gavin Cromwell's horses are in such good form that three-times course winner Crystal Dawn is greatly respected. EMPHATIC (NAP) won three times here last winter and has run very well on Turf the last twice so gets the nod to go in again though Broken Silence, making his all-weather debut, is one to note in the market. Silverkode was engaged in the 3.35 at Gowran yesterday.
