Verdict

Coningsby has lost his way over fences and is having a first run over hurdles in almost two years so this is probably best left to PORT OF MARS, who only had to be pushed out to beat market rivals Kingsplace and Some Detail at Chepstow. Scottish Accent never threatened on his hurdles bow at Newcastle and may do better over the larger obstacles.
