Verdict
WADDINGTOWN HERO (NAP) may well have followed up his Ffos Las victory at Uttoxeter on Saturday had Gerard Tumelty committed for home a bit earlier. The partnership is given another chance racing off the same mark here. Alright Benny has a win and two second places from previous runs over course and distance so warrants respect and last month's Newton Abbot runner-up makes more appeal than My Silver Cloud, who turned in a shocker last time at Plumpton. Thats Ben is hard to catch right so bottom weight Troubled may be best of the rest.
