Verdict

NO MORE PORTER ran a cracker when second in the Premier Handicap here on Tuesday and will stand a good chance of going one better if showing up in the same form. Stablemate Spanish Tenor was also in action here on Tuesday, finishing a respectable fourth and can go well again. British raider Metabolt has a progressive profile and is also shortlisted along with John McConnell's Higher Kingdom.

  1. NO MORE PORTER (IRE)
  2. SPANISH TENOR (IRE)
  3. METABOLT
