HUCKING HERO didn't find a great deal when push came to shove at Market Rasen last time and had also been a beaten favourite over C&D in May, though has the beating of Baraathen on that run. He's probably not one to take too short a price about today but is clear of his rivals on official ratings and should return to winning ways. Final Flyer may be the danger having appreciated the return to 2m when scoring by eight lengths over C&D last week as Marc Of Brilliance may need this.
