Verdict

The vote goes to NO MORE PORTER, who hasn't got his head in front for three years but he's reliable on the whole and was a fine second in a valuable handicap at the Curragh on his belated seasonal reappearance at the end of June. This Songisforyou was third in another big-field handicap here last week and he has to be feared, while Apache Outlaw, who looks the pick of the four Adrian McGuinness-trained runners, and Physique also have claims. San Aer will be another to consider if he gets a run.

  1. NO MORE PORTER (IRE)
  2. THIS SONGISFORYOU (USA)
  3. APACHE OUTLAW (IRE)
