Verdict
De Vegas Kid has been well placed to win five of his last six outings but escaped a penalty at Brighton last time and is 7lb higher today and facing tougher opposition. Glenn Coco has been thereabouts at Newmarket recently and the mostly consistent Mamillius will likely be in the mix once again. But PORT OF CALL landed a course and distance double before placing at Kempton and Amanda Perrett’s charge may prove good enough once again ahead of Zeyzoun, who returns to 7f having won over today’s trip last year when trained in France.
