Formscan By Michael Graham - This has the makings of a very decent maiden. PORTO VECCHIO (4) catches the eye for Dermot Weld as a full-brother to the stable's Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Homeless Songs. Porto Vecchio has significant big-race entries and it is worth noting that his sister was good enough to win on her debut at Leopardstown. Aidan O'Brien is going for five in a row in this contest and fields three newcomers in Speakers Corner, Victory Speech and Drumbeat with preference for the former as Ryan Moore's pick. All of these Wootton Bassett colts hold the same Group 1 entries, so a market check is imperative. Johnny Murtagh's Fort Dearborn is more than capable of a good showing too.
