PORT ERIN landed a double with a recent victory on slow going at Ffos Las and made all on both occasions. He looks worth sticking with back on the all-weather. The Spotlight Kid placed on soft ground at Newbury last time but King Of Ithaca is preferred on his recent placed efforts over a mile here. Sweet Bertie scored at Wolverhampton back in May and has his first outing since.
