Porfin still carries a penalty for last week’s victory over 6f here but has been beaten since. THE FIRST HURRAH is preferred as she missed out by less than a length over track and trip last time having slid down the weights. Peachey Carnehan beat River Chorus and Makyon when winning here in October while Okaidi steps up in trip and the unexposed London returns to action fitted with a hood.
