In depth
Verdict
PORTER IN THE PARK came up against an improver at Hereford after getting her head in front at Huntingdon and can recoup losses here ahead of Spring Note, who makes her handicap debut having started favourite in both runs to date over timber. Anti Bridgie has had wind surgery since pulled up at Doncaster and Passing Reflection also appears to have a bit to find on the form book.
