Port Isaac deserves a change of luck having been narrowly beaten in all four starts last season and Subjective returns to action having finished runner-up in all three outings in 2016. Hollander found one too good at Nottingham on his debut and Gloriux was beaten less than a length when third at Bath recently. But a tentative vote in a tight contest goes CRAFTY MADAM, a half-sister to top-class sprinter and stablemate Profitable, who finished second at Doncaster on her recent reappearance.
