Porfin has won three times over shorter trips since joining his current yard though carries a double penalty on his first attempt at a mile. Boy George usually runs his race at this level and finished ahead of Well Prepared when scoring at Chelmsford in October. He makes more appeal than the frustrating He's Our Star but HEADLEY GEORGE gets another chance. The latter had the measure of both Agent Of Fortune and Mr Mac when going close over course and distance last time and can race off the same mark in this.
