Forecasts

Port Stanley (5/4), The Very Man (6/4), Storm Flight (13/2), Rocket Lad (17/2), Bread And Butter (12/1), Madison To Monroe (12/1), Zoffalee (18/1), The Second Coming (28/1), Imitation Game (40/1), Four Courts (150/1), Eversosaucy (150/1), Clancypantz (150/1), Well Chimed (200/1), Ask Aisling (250/1), Aces Full (250/1), Chesterville (250/1), Carrigeen Lactuca (250/1)

PORT STANLEY ran a long way below his best switched to handicap company at Leopardstown back in February. Having shown useful form when runner-up at Fairyhouse in maiden chases both starts prior to that, he's a confident selection to finally get his head in front for Jessica Harrington. The Very Man rates an obvious threat after an encouraging chasing debut last month, ahead of Rocket Lad.
