In depth

Verdict

ORIONS HERO went close to opening his account on fast ground at Ayr last month when caught close home. A race of this nature should be within his grasp and he gets the nod ahead of Midnight Warrior. The latter had finished a promising third on his debut at Folkestone only to disappoint back at the same track last time. He's closely matched on earlier running with Bartack while the newcomers Bapak Muda and Horsted Keynes are both worth noting for any significant support in the betting.
