Verdict

PORLOCK BAY picked up a big prize last year and, having returned with a satisfactory run at Bangor in February, he's all set for a bold showing having skipped the Cheltenham festival this time around. The classy Jett also deserves respect and last year's second Latenightpass should give another good account this time round.

  1. PORLOCK BAY (FR)
  2. JETT (IRE)
