Verdict
These claimers rarely work out as expected and though War Hero is 6lb clear in the ratings he's now been beaten in three similar events and has never raced beyond a mile. FOX LEICESTER has 11lb to make up but enters the fray in good form having won a handicap over the trip last month before a fair run over 1m4f. James McAuley has three entries with Colin Keane on board Hightown Heights, the winner of a similar race in January who has been racing over shorter. The stable's House Of Kings produced three very good efforts in handicaps at the beginning of the year but has disappointed the last twice.
