Port Or Starboard keeps finding one too good but has to go on the shortlist for a maiden that won’t take much winning. Points winner Git Maker is also interesting but Extraordinary Man may have been flattered by his run behind the odds-on Balco Coastal at Huntingdon. Marco Island and PACHACUTI ran in different divisions of the same bumper here last month. The former won his race but it was run in a much slower time than the one in which the latter finished fourth and the Pipe inmate should enjoy the switch to hurdles.
