Formscan - Placed in all four previous starts over hurdles, the consistent PORT STATION has shown plenty of promise and is fancied to make a winning debut for a yard which does well with it's procurement from other yards. That said, both Novelista and Joining Force have bags of scope for progression and must also be taken seriously. The hat-trick seeking Gone Country is another must for the shortlist, despite having struggled at this level in the past.
