Benefit Of Porter made a winning start over fences a month ago and is no slouch on the level as he showed when runner-up to Apt Manor over 1m6f at Tramore earlier. However, this looks between the three-year-olds and RED CALIMA gets the nod over Enchanted Forest. The pair have already met and the former had two and a half lengths to spare over the Ballydoyle colt when they occupied the places behind Saddler's Rock at Tipperary. There appears no obvious reason for a reversal of the positions and John Oxx' colt can claim the spoils.
