Verdict

Hit The Silk has won three times on the Flat but there must be a stamina doubt as he’s never raced beyond a mile. Port Jack is more stoutly bred being by Milan out of a Presenting mare. IL COURRA was weakening when falling at the last at Punchestown but he should go close to making amends with a clear round here based on an earlier second at Naas. Teescomponentsyess showed signs of inexperience on his hurdles bow at Fairyhouse but Shark Hanlon’s bumper winner still finished a fair fourth and this looks less competitive.
