Jakajaro (10/11), Portland (15/8), Lia Fail (6/1), Nika Pika (17/2)
PORTLAND failed to improve on his promising debut at the Curragh when fourth at Tipperary, but he still looked green on that occasion and it's not hard to envisage him taking a considerable step forward now pitched into a handicap. Jakajaro did the job well at the Curragh a fortnight ago and is an obvious threat, despite being hit with a 12 lb rise. Lia Fail raised her game when scoring at Down Royal, but more will be needed again if she's to follow up here.
