Racing Post verdict
Third-partyRelentless Hero showed his best form to date when landing a maiden last time and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut in what shapes as an open 12-furlong affair, making him our selection. Taritino is the most obvious rival having come through with authority on his latest run despite a weight rise, while Oman won two starts back and remains in decent form with cheekpieces to try. L'Eagle Aid rounds out the dangers as a consistent course handler whose connections have a strong record in this race. Relentless Hero is the pick.
