    Verdict

    PORTAMENTO won on soft ground at Goodwood in May, beating subsequent dual Group 2 winner Estidhkaar. He'll be a short price to follow up August's win on the Polytrack as he's got 19lb in hand on Arthur MartinLeake and the filly Marigot Bay. The former looks the one for forecast-backers on his latest third in a Pontefract nursery. Macarthurs Park was second at Brighton in April but has been well beaten since in much weaker races than this and it will be a surprise if she gets anywhere near her three rivals.
