PORLOCK BAY picked up a big prize last year and, having returned with a satisfactory run at Bangor in February, he's all set for a bold showing having skipped the Cheltenham festival this time around. The classy Jett also deserves respect and last year's second Latenightpass should give another good account this time round.
