PORRIDGE BOY made an encouraging 3yo reappearance as a gelding and will have a say in the finish with improvement expected. ONE OF THOSE DAYS will probably be better over further but should run well fresh to fight out the finish. PROPER was the subject of market support on debut and has subsequently been gelded. He is open to any amount of improvement with that experience to count on and the benefit of his rider's 1.5kg allowance. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN and newcomer NIGHT SKIZZLE are others worth a mention.
