Verdict
It was soft ground when PORT LAIRGE scored over track and trip recently but he also finished runner-up here on a fast surface before that. John Gallagher's charge can confirm latest running with Born To Fly and go in again. Kakapuka has slipped down the weights and has been thereabouts of late without looking like winning and finished behind runner-up New Rich over today's trip at Leicester at the start of the month. But the latter has done all his winning at Kempton so far and Olney Lass hasn't won since 2013.
