Winless after 5 attempts and only looks averagely treated on return to action. Others more appealing.

Still looking for first success but posted best effort yet when second of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 21 days ago. Races off same mark on turf debut and holds strong claims.

Returned to form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 47 days ago, not ideally placed. 2 lb lower now and can make presence felt again.

Rather had run of race when taking 6-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 10 days ago. Useful claimer retains the ride, however, and he is not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Orbaan (7/2), Mafnood (4/1), Tribal Rhythm (5/1), Kracking (6/1), Mostawaa (13/2), Port Road (9/1), Revich (12/1), Hodler (14/1), The Bitter Moose (28/1), Uncle Dick (40/1)

Verdict

PORT ROAD is yet to run on turf but arrives in fine form and gets the vote in a tricky-looking finale. Kracking and Mostawaa should also go well.
