Porterman came up against the in-form Hartside on the Flat last week but was beaten 11l. He'd shown promise over hurdles earlier and though moderate is on the upgrade. EVERYTHING ZAIN is also progressing and made the short-priced favourite Top Man Michael work for his victory at Roscommon. The remainder, including Magical Moon, were well beaten off and Dessie Hughes' charge can go one better. Bigearsonmyright caught the eye with a powerful finish at Tramore and can only get better while the lightly-raced Madeira Girl can prove best of the newcomers.
