Verdict
PORT ISAAC has done little wrong in going close in all three starts so far. Marcus Tregoning’s charge may finally come good in this and has a bit in hand on these terms with the frustrating Muatadel. The remaining pair with experience have shown little to date so one of the newcomers would not need to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved and the half-brother to a couple of winners, Dance Rebel, makes most appeal of those.
