In depth
Verdict
The progressive Portacasa looks the one to beat. She is proven in conditions, is at the top of her form and still looks well treated off this 5lb higher mark. Course winner Appleacre, is a big rangy filly and she will do better as she gets stronger, while Dalblair, who stays further than this, may prove difficult to peg back if he is given an uncontested lead.
