Port O'clock is a recent recruit from point-to-points and he didn’t disgrace himself on a first start for David Pipe but MY LADY GREY has taken well to racing over long distances and she proved a resolute winner at the track on her most recent visit. Belle Jour is respected as Chris Gordon’s only runner at the track and he gets in off a light racing weight. The long-standing maiden Kennack Bay appears best of the rest.
