El Porto gets the vote here with Sharp Hat and Beau Jazz rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second last time out behind Mullberry Lad that form has sinxce been franked and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Sharp Hat rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Desert Dust he looks sure to have the race run to suit and from a good draw could go well at a price.Beau Jazz is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Staceymac but he looks weighrted up to his best. Of the remainder Gaudalphin is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minim,um for the winner we return to El Porto.
