There should be pace on with the likes of the improving Speisialta, Wexford maiden winner Rosenborg and in-form Splashing Out in the line-up, and that will suit HOPEFUL HERO who likes to be held up. The selection, who had an excuse when a disappointing favourite at Galway, ran well at Down Royal a week ago. The form of Cocofred's Roscommon maiden win has worked out quite well, and he's a player too on handicap debut. [Mark Nunan]
