Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. PORTREATH rates just the pick of the weights and is taken to make a winning start on polytrack with this step up in trip also a likely plus. In-form duo Sky Legend and Numidia appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Jessica Harrington's 3-y-o in that order. Tastyee completes the shortlist.

  1. PORTREATH (IRE)
  2. SKY LEGEND
  3. NUMIDIA (IRE)
