Verdict

After getting off the mark at Fakenham, YCCS PORTOCERVO didn’t do a lot wrong under a penalty at Worcester. Right Destination is held on the form book and the former can pick up the winning thread again here as he’s rated 9lb superior to the frustrating Emerald Rocket, though Olly Murphy puts up a 7lb claimer on the latter today. Archirondel has shown little so far over timber.
