Forecasts

Port Erin (10/11), Sprezzatura (11/4), Coral Reef (3/1), Larrsen (13/2), Show Of Hands (20/1)

PORT ERIN duly left his previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut in good style at Newcastle last week and will prove hard to beat under a penalty. Coral Reef is the clear main danger.
