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.
