Sirjack Thomas won this for Ado McGuinness in 2021 and he's one of eight from the yard entered this time. No More Porter may prove best of the octet as he was three lengths behind Rahmi in a premier handicap over the track and trip in May and has a 10lb pull in the weights. The winner is undoubtedly progressing fast while stablemate Blues Emperor has only been raised 3lb for scoring over the trip at Naas. Arniemac, who sauntered home in what looked a strong Killarney maiden, is another on the upgrade while Chazzesmee has won at Dundalk and on heavy ground at Naas though a massive 13lb rise makes this much tougher. FARNBOROUGH (NAP) makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after landing a Limerick maiden last weekend. The only three-year-old in the race, he looks the type to progress into stakes company and gets the vote.
