Race preview
SPORTING HERO has been in great form here over the winter winning four times in total and now bids for a C&D hat-trick having shown plenty of pace twice last month. The Denis Hogan-trained gelding had Never Shout Never, Jered Maddox and Dontspoilasale all behind last time and a 3lb rise still leaves him on a competitive mark. Beauty Queen won twice over this trip for Kevin Ryan and should benefit from an initial outing for new connections here last Friday. Crystal Luna won over 5f last week and Nicola Burns claims a valuable 7lb.
