HEROES won well last time and Tim Vaughan's 5-year-old can get his head in front again; Can Can Star and Plaisterer look the main dangers. The selection scored in a claimer at Brighton last month and connections are clearly keen to strike again while the iron is hot. He has won here in the past and although he has flattered to deceive in the past, he is a very capable sort and he looks to have been found a good opportunity here. Can Can Star was well beaten at Doncaster last time but he did run well here at the start of last month and a reproduction of that effort should see him competitive. Chris Wall sends the filly Plaisterer to post here and she has shaped with promise in both her starts this season. She remains unexposed and she won't need to find much improvement to trouble the judge. Rehabilitation is returning from a break so he may strip fitter for the run, and we will stick with Heroes to lead them home.
