PORTSMOUTH did well to last as long as he did at Goodwood last month, considering the combination of a step up in trip/much more testing ground and a refusal to settle, so he remains of firm interest, especially now back at the scene of his reappearance success. Persica put in a sustained run from a long way back at Newbury on his most recent outing and ought to go well again, with Bubbles Wonky an interesting handicap debutant upped to a trip that promises to suit.
