Verdict

VALIANT FORCE boasts an exceptional Dundalk record with four course wins, including a taking conditions victory 43 days ago. He returns to handicap company at a track where he consistently excels. Little Queenie, another four-time course winner, was narrowly denied here 26 days ago and poses the main threat, while Sporting Hero shaped well when runner-up over C&D recently.
