Portarlington
Has won thrice over hurdles and once over fences; however, has been below form since his latest score at Downpatrick last year so has to get back to best.

From the connections
“I wasn't really planning on making the running, but there was no speed and Portarlington went around with his ears pricked and travelled better than he's ever done. I seem to get on with him, which is great - Josh Williamson, jockey. speaking to Racing TV.”
“Portarlington didn't really come down the hill on quick ground at Limerick but he was suited by today. We might go at Navan on Sunday, it's only 2m but it's a stiff track - Ian Donoghue, trainer.”
