The five-month break Portmore Lough has had since his mishap at Leopardstown is of no concern given he goes well fresh and he rates as a major player, especially since he is 2-3 at this track. It was hard not to be impressed when Turbo bolted up to break his duck over fences recently, and on his handicap debut he must also be considered. On form Macgiloney would have strong claims given there was no fluke about his defeat of Doctor Duffy but his CV suggests he prefers fast ground. Therefore, despite the rise in grade preference is for GUNFIRE REEF who turned his latest victory over hurdles into a procession. He can complete the hat-trick as he returns to fences.
