Verdict

NEWPORT has yet to score in this sphere but scored over hurdles earlier this summer and could prove the way to go on the back of an encouraging fourth at York recently. Dubai Venture arrives at the top of his game and rates a big threat though, while veteran Billy Bathgate can also play a prominent role on the back of his recent course victory.
