HOPEFUL HERO disappointed when sent off favourite at Galway last time but is worth another chance to recover losses. A winner at Bellewstown on his previous start, the Tom Hogan-trained gelding had his excuses when failing to fire at Ballybrit. A lightly raced son of Raven's Pass, the five-year-old remains open to improvement over hurdles and has to be a leading contender. Lips Freedom was another that didn't live up to expectations at Galway having come into the meeting on the back of two victories. Well-handicapped relative to his Flat form, the Free Eagle gelding shouldn't be discounted. Home By The Sea ran better than the result suggests at Ballinrobe recently having been badly hampered two out and could also get involved.
Prediction: 1st Hopeful Hero, 2nd Lips Freedom, 3rd Home By The Sea
