The weaker of the two divisions with a speculative vote going to PORT OR STARBOARD. The latter is back on good ground for the first time since scoring at Exeter in March and looks worth another try over this far. Bobalot is back on a winning mark and gets another change of headgear as he drops down in trip while New Beginnings and Micronormous may improve now handicapping and cheekpieces are applied to the latter.
