Highly promising St Mark's Basilica colt who was last seen at the Curragh 17 days ago where finishing a very respectable 3rd/7 under the circumstances of meeting trouble in running travelling well throughout however was denied a clear run when trying to take closer order before the final 2 furlong marker and was forced to switch to inner of the track where denied a clear run yet again and hampered in the process all this costing him precious time where he could of been making up serious ground as he looked ready to do so however once in the clear he kept on professionally despite all that trouble in running open to plenty more progress Port Of Spain is more than capable of shedding the maiden tag here jockey R P Whelan takes the ride and can give A P O'brien's inmate a promising ride here at Punchestown worth noting trainer A P O'brien won this race last year and holds strong claims of doing so again must be considered

Daughter of Kodiac & Alsace Lorraine ( Dam's sire Giant's Causeway ) who was last seen at Newmarket 32 days ago where finishing a promising 2nd/6 and was only just denied the win by 0.02 lengths in a tightly bunched finish and was likely to be the winner in my point of view if she hadn't of met trouble in running however she remains of series interest and has found herself another excellent opportunity here where she can go a place better currently operating on an unchanged mark of 72 Harry Charlton's inmate looks poised to strike here with jockey J Mitchell taking the ride merits serious consideration here
