Verdict
PORT OR STARBOARD appears to have the beating of Spike Jones, Vians Hill and Pennant Empress on their run together here last month. Bernard Llewellyn’s charge certainly deserves a change of luck and gets another chance today. Fine Casting also found only one too good last time at Uttoxeter while Knowwhentoholdem has won a bumper and Pilgrims King was second twice in that sphere earlier in the year.
