Verdict

With two runs under his belt already PORCHY PARTY is one of the most experienced horses in this opening event. The selection ran well when second over 5f at Beverley last time and can go one better by taking this contest. Dream of Delphi represents a yard who do well with their two-year-old's and he can claim second ahead of Cheeky Rascal who is making his debut for a yard who are known for their winning youngsters.
